**International Guitar Night** comes to the lower mainland at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster next Thursday, Jan. 25 featuring guitarists Luca Stricagnoli, Thu Le, Marco Pereira, & Minnie Marks.

From my high school guitar class held in the upstairs classrooms adjoining the Massey, to last year when [I 'roadied' for Jocelyn Gould *on foot* after a podcast episode](https://www.rhythmchanges.ca/jocelyn-gould-guitar-ep-71/) walking her gear up from my old place to the theatre, I've long been aware of the touring show. This edition is the 24th annual; [tickets here](https://www.masseytheatre.com/event/massey-presents-international-guitar-night/?ref=rhythmchanges.ca).

Here's a link to one notable video by each artist, to give you an idea of what they'll present.

Italian-born **Luca Stricagnoli** is an extended-technique specialist on the acoustic guitar, something like what our own [Colin Sankey](https://www.rhythmchanges.ca/colin-sankey-reawakening/) does on bass. Among his unique arrangements is this instrumental cover of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" which has over 11 million views to-date:

Moving from the steel-string to the nylon, Brazilian classical guitarist **Marco Pereira** is a highly-accomplished composer, educator, and recording artist. Here's a resonant and well-captured performance that he uploaded to his own channel just before the new year:

There's a second classical guitarist on the tour with a distinct personality, the Vietnamese-born-and-trained **Thu Le.** She tours the world as a soloist and guitar duo performer from her base in Bahrain:

But finally, for something completely different, the Australian songwriter and multi-instrumentalist **Minnie Marks** delivers electric slide blues rock, kick stomps, and soul vocals, kind of like a shot down the middle of the Bonnie Raitt - Bros. Landreth connection:

Marks is the only artist of the four to have not played International Guitar Night before.
