An Evening of Guitar Mastery September 9 2006

Apple Blossom Sound of Winchester, Virginia, (540 664 3404) brings to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, direct from New York City the guitar genius of Paul Bollenback, Ben Monder, Steve Herberman, and Ed Iglesias.

Nestled in the valley just 80 miles west of Wash. D.C., minutes off I-66/I-81, The Strasburg Theater (www.Strasburgtheater.com) is an intimate setting to witness these jazz greats.

Paul Bollenback's (www.paulbollenback.com) reputation for exhilarating performances has made him one of the most reliably swinging, pyrotechnic players on the jazz scene over the past decade.

Ben Monder (www.benmonder.com) is known to deliver a most stunning display of technical virtuosity and compositional daring; an adventurous approach that leaves his audiences spellbound.

Jimmy Bruno has referred to Steve Herberman (www.steveherberman.com) as one of the freshest new jazz voices on the scene. Steve's impeccable phrasing and drop-dead gorgeous lines display his Jim Hall/Lenny Breau influences.

Also direct from New York City, backing these jazz greats, are Chris Lightcap on bass, and Mark Ferber on drums. Both are veterans of Ben Monder's trio. If that weren't enough jazz singer Chris McNulty is expected to make an appearance.

This is a once in a lifetime lineup for anyone who is a fan of the GUITAR. With food and drink available inside the theater this surely will be a night to remember.

Tickets are $25, available online at the website below or call 888 870 6824.
