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.

one guitar – but it’s amaz-
ing!” - Orlando Sentinel

matter your musical taste.” -
