The Thousand Incarnations of the Rose — A Festival of American Primitive Guitar

The Thousand Incarnations of the Rose is a 3-day music festival unlike any other. It will bring together for the first time more than 25 acoustic fingerstyle guitar and banjo players from every era of the American Primitive/Guitar Soli movement and every corner of the United States; pairing legends such as Peter Lang, Max Ochs, Harry Taussig, and Peter Walker with modern day heavy hitters like Glenn Jones, Marisa Anderson, Daniel Bachman, and Nathan Bowles. We will also be screening documentaries and rare footage of John Fahey, Robbie Basho, and Jack Rose; and hosting panel discussions with scholars and musicians.

Presented by:
