ACT ONE’s Festival 2019 is pleased to present Grammy Award-winning acoustic guitarist Ed Gerhard in concert Sunday, September 8 at the West End Studio Theatre in Portsmouth NH.

From sold out tours of Japan to festivals in Italy and venues across the US, the exquisite music of Ed Gerhard has touched audiences all over the world.

Performing on 6-string, slide guitar, and Hawaiian lap steel, Gerhard combines rare compositional depth with inspired virtuosity.  Fans of guitar music won’t want to miss this opportunity to see and hear one of the country’s finest players.

Gerhard was awarded a GRAMMY® for his arrangement and performance of “Moon River” on the compilation CD “Henry Mancini; Pink Guitar.” His guitar work can be heard on CDs by Arlo Guthrie and Jorma Kaukonen and is featured in the Ken Burns’ films “Mark Twain” and “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.”

Premier Guitar Magazine has high praise for Gerhard:  “…beautifully articulated…some of the richest steel-string  sounds you’ve ever heard.”
