Prepare for an unforgettable night of subterranean sounds! Join us deep inside Onondaga Cave for a unique acoustic experience featuring world-renowned fingerstyle guitar virtuoso, <a href="https://www.richardgilewitz.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Richard Gilewitz</a>.
Known for his mesmerizing “fingerstyle wizardry” and a delightfully lively sense of humor, Richard transforms every performance into a rich, storytelling journey. Playing everything from classical Bach to rock legends Led Zeppelin, his genre-spanning repertoire seamlessly blends Delta blues, folk, jazz, and rock elements.Never one to settle for the boring or mundane, Richard Gilewitz surprises audiences with his hilariously eccentric vision of the world and its inhabitants alongside breathtaking fingerstyle artistry on the 6- and 12-string guitar. Named one of the top fingerstyle guitarists of all time, Richard invariably captivates listeners with uniquely emotional interpretations of romping knucklebusters and contemplative classical tunes reimagined for steel strings. He credits his ability to pull the deepest breath out of a tune to having studied for decades with a classical guitarist, who was himself taught by a violinist who played alongside Albert Einstein. That is Richard in a nutshell…unusual, unique, surprising, and a master of fingerstyle guitar.&nbsp;
