“…vintage twang in service of Americana-meets exploratory Jazz-Psych…” -Rolling Stone

“Mike Baggetta is a genre-blurring guitar hero… at the forefront of an army of guitar innovators.” -Brad Cohan, JazzTimes

“...this is something else. Mr. Baggetta is into making clearly delineated music, melodies and chord patterns and actual songs, but he’s also into sound and space and texture. He’s a soloist, but interested in the whole area of a piece of music: backgrounds and middle grounds as much as foregrounds. What’s especially good… is that he’s trying to do something personal with collective improvisation without ever getting in the way of beauty.“ -Ben Ratliff, The New York Times

“Jazz guitarist Mike Baggetta bends notes, and his genre, to make music that sounds like life.” -Premier Guitar

It has been said that Mike Baggetta is “a guitarist of slippery proficiency” (New York Times), that his performances are “totally compelling” (Jazz Journal, UK) and that “his melodic sense is truly beautiful.” (JazzReview.com)

Join guitarist Mike Baggetta at Rudy’s Jazz Room to hear his award-winning and genre-defying music performed alongside some of Nashville's, and the world's, greatest musicians Jonathan Wires & Josh Hunt. Mike’s singular and very personal musical style seeks to blur the lines between composition and improvisation, while connecting a wide range of musical genres that influence him. He has earned accolades from the press that call this approach “…beguilingly atmospheric…” (Time Out New York) and that “Baggetta’s music is quietly transgressive… Even when he plays a lot of notes, his playing can sound almost static, as though ideas were being snagged out of thin air.” (Hartford Courant)
