LAURENCE JUBER
Solo Guitar Recital |
|
One of the world's foremost acoustic guitarists and renowned practitioner of finger-style guitar returns to the Theatre for another solo concert. In 1978, Paul McCartney asked Juber to become the lead guitarist for his band Wings. He recorded and toured with Wings for three years. After Wings folded in 1981, Juber moved to California and continued his career as a solo artist and arranger. His guitar playing has been featured in several major films, and he has numerous television credits. "Notes spin out of songs with such finesse and musical agility it's hard to believe he has only 10 fingers and six strings. Like all magicians, he makes it seem effortless." (San Francisco Chronicle) |
