For 27 years, International Guitar Night has thrilled audiences around the world by bringing together some of the most innovative and accomplished acoustic guitarists on the planet for one extraordinary evening of music. Returning to Poway by popular demand, IGN 2027 continues that celebrated tradition with a globally inspired lineup featuring four internationally acclaimed artists whose styles span classical, acoustic rock, Hawaiian slack key, and blues slide guitar. More than just a concert, International Guitar Night is a one-of-a-kind musical experience where artists from different cultures and genres share the stage, exchange ideas, and collaborate live in ways that are spontaneous, electrifying, and completely unique to each performance. Audiences can expect dazzling musicianship, artistic storytelling, and an unforgettable journey across musical traditions from around the world. Making her International Guitar Night debut is French classical guitarist Roxane Elfasci. ROXANE ELFASCI is an award-winning French classical guitarist, with a repertoire that ranges from Debussy’s timeless classics to contemporary compositions by Roland Dyens and Philip Glass. She continues the tradition of virtuosic classical players that have graced our IGN lineups. Joining her is returning IGN favorite Luca Stricagnoli of Italy. LUCA STRICAGNOLI is well-known to IGN audiences for his amazing arrangements of rock classics on custom designed acoustic guitars. With over 100 million YouTube views, Luca has carved out a unique niche as a dazzling performer who has created new instruments and playing techniques. Hawaiian slack key master Jim Kimo West brings a completely different sonic landscape to the evening. JIM KIMO WEST leads a double life. In his native Hawaii he is revered for his mastery of Slack Key guitar, and has impressed IGN audiences and concertgoers around the world with his flawless technique and beautiful melodies. In his other life, he is the long-time lead guitar player for Weird Al Yankovich. Go figure. Rounding out the lineup is Australian blues powerhouse Minnie Marks. MINNIE MARKS was surprised when we first called her in her remote Australian home to join IGN, but once on stage she wowed audiences with her driving blues slide guitar and passionate vocals. Now with worldwide touring under her belt we, and her many American fans, are happy to welcome her back again. What sets International Guitar Night apart is the spirit of collaboration and discovery that unfolds throughout the performance. In addition to solo showcases from each artist, audiences will witness impromptu duos, trios, and ensemble performances as the musicians come together to reinterpret one another’s music in real time. The result is an evening filled with surprise, creativity, humor, and extraordinary artistry that highlights the limitless possibilities of the guitar. From intricate classical passages and inventive acoustic rock arrangements to laid-back Hawaiian melodies and gritty blues riffs, IGN 2027 offers a rich and exhilarating musical tapestry designed to captivate dedicated guitar enthusiasts and casual music fans alike. Dynamic, intimate, and endlessly entertaining, this internationally celebrated touring festival promises a truly memorable night of world-class live performance.
