Guitar World has mused whether Goren is the future of guitar, pointing to his soulful and rollicking cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Machine Gun” as proof. Then there’s that time he opened for B.B. King when he was 13. He’s gotten shout-outs from MTV and the Chicago Tribune who declared that Goren “plays electric guitar — and sings — with a fluency, ease and depth of expression that defy easy explanation.” The kid’s got chops, so catch him before he’s only booking arenas, at the Starlight Lounge March 20 in downtown Eugene. The cherry on top? The bar just added a brand-new baby grand piano. SATURDAY Ray Goren performs with his band 7:30pm Sunday, March 20, at Starlight Lounge, 830 Olive St.; FREE.
