Michael Fix & Richard Gilewitz - a night of guitar artistry, fun & humour!
Magda Pop up Gallery: Where the Water Falls - by Jennifer Andrews.
Magda's is delighted to welcome back the wonderful, Brisbane-based, three times Golden Guitar winner Michael Fix. Michael is known as a leading exponent of contemporary acoustic guitar, and a consummate performer. His fretboard skills, unique style, and good-natured humour have earned him an international reputation as a concert drawcard - with a sound that is distinctively Australian and highly original in its presentation.
Over the past two decades, he has released 15 albums. His latest release is the evocative Bending Air, which features a collection of exquisite new original pieces, together with unique arrangements of some of the songs that have inspired him over the years.
Recognized world-wide as a performer who has a quirky take on everything around him, Richard Gilewitz continues to live up to this depiction with rousing shows filled with offbeat observations combined with his right-hand wizardry and heaps of technique. Much of the charm of a Gilewitz performance is in the humorous stories he tells.
Richard Gilewitz is a musician who can make you stop and wonder if the sounds coming from his acoustic guitar are real. Whether playing solo, conducting guitar seminars and school programs, or sharing the stage with folks such as Stephen Housden, Brooks Williams, Michael Fix, The California Guitar Trio, John McCutcheon, John Renbourn, Mose Allison, the late John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Norman Blake, Indigo Girls, or John Hammond, Richard always invites the audience to join him on a journey filled with twists and turns at every tune.
Michael & Richard will both perform solo sets, as well as performing a selection together.
Diarize Friday 16th June, "Guitar Spectacular at Magda's" now! Bookings
