Jim Falbo - Classical Guitar 10/29/17

Jim Falbo is an eclectic and accomplished classical guitarist, composer, instructor, performer, and music arranger from St. Paul, Minnesota. Jim's music has been featured on KBEM 88.5 Jazz FM, and on 99.5 KSJN Classical MPR, where radio host Steve Staruch described Jim as "a master of pluck." Jim started playing guitar at the age of 11 after growing up listening to Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, and many 90's alternative bands on the radio. His love of many forms of music developed into a passion for classical and acoustic guitar, when he studied with guitarist Dean Harrington at K and S Conservatory of music. Jim has received shining reviews and is well known as a "guitarist's guitarist" from audiences and musicians alike with an ability to play such a wide range of genres and styles. A wide selection of music is in Jim's repertoire, including classical European, Latin, pop classics, and some jazz standards. Jim is a high demand and award-winning performer and plays in many events including concerts, weddings, corporate events, and various other venues and events throughout the Twin Cities and Upper Midwest. Most recently Jim has performed at MPR's classical pop-up concert from the Fairgrounds, the Minnesota Guitar Society classical guitarathon, James J. Hill House, Cedar Cultural Center, and was the first act to perform at Hastings Arts Center when it opened in 2015. Jim has released four albums with his newest "Guitar Reveries' transcending musical boundaries with pieces from Spain and Brazil, combined with pop classics from the Beatles, and Elvis among others.

We are pleased that Jim will once again perform on our stage!
