St Luke's Episcopal Church

St. Luke’s Church (915 Main Street, South Glastonbury) is proud to present double-neck guitarist Ian Ethan Case in concert on Saturday, October 17th at 7:00 pm.Suggested donations are $15 adults and $10 students/seniors along with a non-perishable food donation for the local food bank. Reservations are suggested and can be made by e-mailing <a href="mailto:pattisivocole@gmail.com">pattisivocole@gmail.com</a>
or calling (860) 633-5057.
Acoustic double-neck guitarist and Candyrat recording artist Ian Ethan Case is quickly becoming recognized as “one of the most creative and engaging fingerstyle guitarists in the world" (International Center for Creativity). Case has recorded, performed, and/or shared the stage with some of the most noteworthy artists in instrumental non-classical music including Victor Wooten, Stanley Jordan, Manu Delago, Jharis Yokley, GoGo Penguin, Andy McKee, and Grammy Award winners Eugene Friesen and Paul McCandless as well as members of the Harford Symphony and the Boston Pops.Listeners have described his music as a cross between Michael Hedges, Steve Reich, and Pat Metheny.
Case studied at the Berklee College of Music and was inspired by private lessons with top jazz musicians such as John Pattitucci, Antonio Sanchez, Aaron Goldberg, Mike Manieri, Adam Rogers, and master percussionists Giovanni Hidalgo Jamey Haddad, and Glen Velez. Since then he has crafted and refined his unique voice and his live performance over the course of hundreds of concerts throughout the US, Canada, and most of Europe including two home concerts here in Glastonbury in the Gathering Room.Case’s 2026-2027 concerts mark a return to the solo format, newly expanded with the incorporation of organ pedals, foot percussion, and cutting-edge electronic capabilities all tastefully integrated into his masterful acoustic playing. As one first-time listener in California exclaimed: “Ian’s music is phenomenal - watching him play is not ‘listening to music’; it’s a full-mind experience. Transporting.”
