Peppino D'Agostino at the Royal Room

"Peppino writes wonderful guitar pieces. He’s one of my favorite composers for this cranky instrument. Plus, he’s a tone player. I love his sound – he gets the resin and the wood.” ~ Leo Kottke

The July 2017 Guitar Player Magazine cover story lists Peppino as one of the 50 transcendent superheroes of the acoustic guitar of all time. A native of Italy, D’Agostino has made his considerable international mark as a musical artist on the guitar since he arrived in America 31 years ago. The readers of Guitar Player voted him Best Acoustic Guitarist, and Acoustic Guitar’s People’s Choice Awards graced him with a Bronze medal for Best Acoustic Album of All Time for his release Every Step of The Way. His signature Seagull acoustic guitar has been voted among the 10 best signature guitars by Guitar Player magazine. Peppino gives guitar workshops, master classes, and seminars worldwide. To date, Peppino has recorded 18 CDs and performed in more than 30 countries at international festivals and concert halls. He has shared the stage with such greats as Larry Carlton, Eric Johnson, Tommy Emmanuel, Leo Kottke, Martin Taylor, Roland Dyens, David Tanenbaum, and many more. D’Agostino’s latest solo CD, Penumbra, was released by Mesa Blue Moon Recordings.
