#28 - Interview w/ American Guitarist Kevin Gallagher

The 28th episode of Dress Rehearsal welcomes NY-based Guitarist Kevin Gallagher who began playing rock guitar in his formative years, but his musical appetite quickly led him to study jazz and ultimately, classical guitar. Kevin was the first-prize winner in the 1993 Guitar Foundation of America, the 1994 American String Teachers Association, and the 1993 Artists International Competition. Most notably, Mr. Gallagher also earned the distinct honor of being the only American classical guitarist ever to win first prize in the prestigious Francisco Tárrega Guitar Competition in Spain (1997). His recording for Naxos Records entitled Guitar Recital- Music from the Renaissance and Baroque was hailed as "...one of the very best NAXOS guitar recordings" by Classical Guitar Magazine in 2000. During this hour we’ll have a chance to listen to a few tracks performed by our guest both on the acoustic guitar and also on electric guitar. Don't miss it!
