The GRCC International Guitar Series presents Chris Proctor-Steel string guitar for the New World.
Thursday, SEPTEMBER 27, 2012 7:30 p.m., Recital Hall, Room 200, GRCC Music Center (corner of Ransom and Lyon)
Admission: $10 General Public, $7 Students and Seniors
Parking is available in the GRCC Bostwick Parking Ramp (enter from Ransom). Guest parking vouchers will be available for $1. One reviewer recently tried to capture the essence of Chris Proctor’s music:
“What to call his unique melange of styles? There’s an aspect of Americana in the echoes of Appalachian and old-timey styles that are apparent in just about every track, but there are also elements of jazz, Celtic folk, and a dash of blues in here somewhere. What Proctor does is create guitar music that reflects the whole heritage of the instrument and still has his own distinct stamp — a tall order, but he’s up to the job”
