Christopher Davis

Playing at Quincy College.

Concert starts with the Quincy University Guitar Ensemble at 7:30pm. I’ll follow them. There’s also a masterclass during the afternoon before the concert

This is part of the Western Illinois Guitar Festival. I’ll be performing along with Tom Clippert, Brad DeRoche, Guilherme Vincens and Virginia Broffett.

Concert starts at 7:30pm in COFAC, Western Illinois University‘s concert hall.

I have a few big gigs/events to go to next year, but they’re spread across many months. I’d like to use each gig as a base, and play concerts along the way.

Here’s the routes I have to take:

1. Dallas, TX to Clarksville, TN – this one is around March 18, 2011.
2. Dallas, TX to Macomb, IL – Around April 7th, 2011. I can also go through OK City and Wichita and Kansas City on this one. If there’s places to play there, that is.
3. Dallas, TX to the Los Angeles Area – In Late October 2011. I would like to drive and play a few concerts on the way, but otherwise I’ll have to fly.

Do you know any venues in the areas or along the way? Would you like to host a house concert? Are you a classical guitar teacher and want to have a Masterclass or Concerts just for your students? Please leave a comment below or get in touch via email.

Thank you!

This weekend, I’ll be at the Western Illinois University Guitar Festival.

The festival begins with a performance by Matt Palmer followed by two full days of lectures/workshops and two nights of showcase style concerts.

I’ll be giving a lecture titled “The Savvy Guitarist” (a deliberate play on David Cutler’s Savvy Musician) on Sunday morning. Topics will include branding and marketing. Sunday evening I’ll be performing for ten minutes in a classical guitar showcase concert.

If you’re in the Macomb, Illinois area, stop by this weekend! All events are free.

I’m in a brochure for music events!

First picture with the new Thames guitar, I believe.

I had a few ads and blurbs in the local papers about my concert. Here they are! (click to view larger images)
