2pm - Patrick Ki
Guitarist/ukulele virtuoso Patrick Ki's passion for smooth instrumental music can be traced back to his roots growing up on the Windward side of O'ahu. Although formally trained with jazz and classical music degrees, his melodic style has always been influenced by the sounds of the Hawaiian slack key guitar. In addition to performing extensively in concert and at music festivals, Ki has released nine albums as a solo recording artist and is featured regularly as a latin jazz/flamenco musician at the Tlaquepaque de Sedona Arts Village. Patrick's performances combine musicality along with a warm, witty sense of humor that makes for a memorable experience!

🌵 2023 Phoenix Guitar Show 🌵 Pedal Alert 🌵 YES! A pedal builder to visit at PGS! We give a warm welcome to LBF Pedals.

Let's hear about it: "LBF Pedals is an independently owned local guitar pedal manufacturer. Our Ouroboros Pedal is a modern take on the Boss HM-2 Pedal, we've added a Mid K**b to increase control of crushing lows and screaming highs. The Fuzz Cauldron features a sturdy and compact design, making it reliable and suitable for both stage and studio use. The pedal offers two distinct fuzz modes: Fuzz and Buzz. In the Fuzz mode, you get a classic fuzz sound that's rich and creamy, capable of producing smooth sustain and harmonically-rich tones. On the other hand, the Buzz mode delivers a more aggressive and biting fuzz, perfect for cutting through the mix with its raw and raucous character. It’s two fuzz pedals in one! We'll also be offering a variety of guitar pick coasters to add uniqueness to your home or practice pad."

🌵 Nine days but who's counting! There is going to be so much awesome stuff at Roberto-Venn on November 4th and don't forget - FREE ADMISSION!!
