International Guitar Night 2027: A Fusion of World-Class Guitar Virtuosity

North America’s longest-running guitar show, is celebrating its 27th Anniversary with the debut of ROXANE ELFASCI, the award-winning classical virtuoso from France, and three all-time IGN favorites— Acoustic Rock dynamo LUCA STRICAGNOLI from Italy, mellow Slack Key master JIM KIMO WEST from Hawaii, and the irrepressible blues slide guitar powerhouse MINNIE MARKS from Australia.
 

Roxane Elfasci completed her musical studies at the Pôle Supérieur of Paris in the classes of Jérémy Jouve and Gérard Abiton. With a degree in musical performance and musicology as well as a Diplôme d’État in pedagogy, she is now totally devoted to her students and her artistic activity.

 

With his music videos having Internet views exceeding 200 million and bookings in every corner of the globe, Luca Stricagnoli is considered to be one of the most unique guitarists in the world. Luca’s creative style, which led him to invent instruments like the Reversed Triple Neck Guitar and the Reversed Slide Neck, vastly contributed to the modern evolution of acoustic guitar.

 

Minnie Marks is not just some blazingly electrified guitar playing freak of nature. She is also a rare and triple threat: Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Some say a ‘sonic tsunami’. Impossible to ignore.

 

Jim “Kimo” West is regarded as one of the world’s foremost “ki ho’alu” or Hawaiian “slack key” guitar artists and his music has garnered over one hundred twenty five million spins on streaming services and more on Sirius XM. He is a 2021 Grammy Winner for his CD, “More Guitar Stories” and a 2019 Grammy nominee for “Moku Maluhia-Peaceful Island” and a current nominee for his work as producer and guitarist on “Sounds Of Kumbha”.
