Italian-born, U.S.-based acoustic guitarist Peppino D'Agostino comes to McCabe's Guitar Shop in support of his latest album Nine White Kites on January 27, 2013.

Known for what the Chicago Tribune praises as his "virtuosity and complexity,” as well as his gift for composing "memorable melodies,” the renowned performer brings his trademark poetic eloquence and grace to venues stateside during his West Coast tour.

D'Agostino has made a considerable international mark as a musical artist on the guitar since he arrived in America a little over 25 years ago. The readers of Guitar Player voted him Best Acoustic Guitarist in 2007, and the following year in Acoustic Guitar Magazine's People's Choice Awards he won a Bronze medal for Best Acoustic Album of All Time for his 2002 release Every Step of The Way and another Bronze award as Fingerstyle Guitarist of the Year.
