BEPPE GAMBETTA
CSPS debut | Born in Genoa, Italy, Beppe Gambetta is widely acknowledged as one of Europe's foremost guitarists in American idioms. But if you really want to understand the musical universe of Beppe Gambetta, start with the smile.
Open and disarming, contagious and irresistible, it's an invitation to a musical journey characterized by lightness of heart and curiosity. Like any good traveller, Gambetta knows that the most memorable journeys are those that take us where we never expected to be.
With the horizon line serving as both challenge and attraction, Beppe has spent years assembling his personal mosaic of sounds and flavors. After ten CDs, four DVDs, four instructional books, and collaborations with top-flight musicians around the globe, he's rightfully recognized as a master innovator on the acoustic guitar. Yet it's not just his skills that attract fans and critics, but his unique roots: a fiercely accomplished — and knowledgeable — Italian musician who's fallen head over heels in love with American country and bluegrass.
Often compared to Leo Kottke, Tony Rice and Michael Hedges, Beppe Gambetta has taken his smile and traversed the world, dazzling and charming music enthusiasts everywhere.
