community october5 2017 7 Clatskanie Arts Commission Presents Chase Padgett and 6 Guitars The Clatskanie Arts Commis- sion is pleased to present Chase Padgett and 6 Guitars on Saturday, October 7, 2017 at 7:30 pm at Clatskanie’s Birken- feld Theatre, 75 S. Nehalem Street. 6 Guitars is a pitch perfect blend of music, comedy and characters. A sin- gle performer portrays 6 different guitar playing characters each sharing their own style of music, Blues, Jazz, Rock, Classical, Folk and Country. As the show unfolds, audienc- es are treated to great songs from each genre that showcase breathtaking mu- sicianship. This sonic feat is done not merely with just one performer but just one guitar as well. There are plenty of laughs too! Each character, from the young rock prodigy to the weary blues picker, shares hilarious anecdotes that only a life playing music can give. These balance out the moving stories each de- liver about how music has touched their lives and made them a better person along the way. You don’t need to play music to love this show. You just need to love music. “It’s one guy – and one guitar – but it’s amaz- ing!” - Orlando Sentinel “Earns applause no matter your musical taste.” - Winnipeg Free Press 6 Guitars premiered at the 2010 Orlando Inter- national Fringe Festival where it won several awards including Best Solo Per- former, Best Male Actor, and Best Mu- sician.
