BOROUGHWIDE — A TWO-DAY GUITAR FESTIVAL comes to Brooklyn this June 12–13, BroadwayWorld reports. The festival will showcase performances at Warsaw, the 1,000-capacity venue at 261 Driggs Avenue in Greenpoint, and the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park.
The lineup, curated by metal-and-jazz guitarist Alex Skolnick and genre-crossing veteran Joel Harrison, features sets from Al Di Meola, John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Mike Stern, Eric Gales, Vernon Reid and others. Tribute concerts honoring Jeff Beck on June 12 and Scofield on June 13 anchor the program, alongside a master class led by Scofield. Harrison said the festival aims to highlight “the full expressive range of the instrument.”
Food and drink at the June 13 Lakeside performances will be provided by Duck Island Cafe & Bar. Tickets are available through the Prospect Park website.
