SUMMARY:Dakota Dave Hull & Joe Nicola LIVE at The White Squirrel!
DESCRIPTION:Guitar-O-Rama returns to The White Squirrel (Saint Paul) on Sunday\, August 2nd from 1-4pm! \nGuitarists Dakota Dave Hull & Joe Nicola LIVE at The White Squirrel! \nDakota Dave Hull & Joe Nicola 2-4pm\nOpening Act Frannie Crego 1pm \nBio Dakota Dave Hull: \nHailed by everyone from Dave Van Ronk to Doc Watson\, from the Washington Post to Downbeat to Roots\, Dakota Dave Hull’s guitar style spans a wide musical geography to create an infectious\, uniquely personal blend of jazz\, ragtime\, folk\, blues\, Western swing\, and vintage pop. Dakota Dave is a restlessly curious\, adventurous traveler along the broad highway of America’s music. In his playing the masters speak\, but in a vocabulary that is Dave’s alone: alternatively mirthful and moving\, always melodic. \nBio Joe Nicola: \nJoe Nicola is a virtuoso fingerstyle guitarist whose expressive technique and emotive playing have captivated audiences across the globe. With a musical career spanning over two decades\, Joe has honed a distinctive sound that blends intricate fingerpicking\, melodic inventiveness\, and a deep connection to his musical roots. Often compared to the playing of Leo Kottke\, Leon Redbone\, and Tommy Emmanuel\, Nicola’s instrumental vinyl album\, “Guitar Music” has been praised by fans and critics alike.
