World renowned guitarist/composer Pat Metheny has won an extraordinary 17 Grammy Awards and has been nominated 33 times in 12 different categories, more than any other performer in Grammy history. On his new tour, which begins in Birmingham, Pat moves from brilliant solo guitar improvisations to the introduction of a totally new technology for the presentation of an acoustically driven "solo ensemble" music he is dubbing Orchestrionics.
Pat's crew has been here at the ASC since the early morning hours today putting this monstrous instrument together and the finished product is indeed impressive. This is truly a show you don't want to miss as Pat singlehandedly controls the Orchestrion without a band. It is a project that is far and away more innovative than anything he has tackled onstage in previous tours, but the results are awe inspiring!
Tickets are still available at the ASC box office. The show starts at 8 PM Friday, October 1. Don't forget the FREE Q&A session with Pat on Thursday, September 30 at noon in the Jemison Theater here at the ASC! http://alysstephens.uab.edu/events/?id=100
