LARRIVEE GUITARS TAKE TO THE ROAD THIS OCTOBER

Furthering its recent heightened profile in the UK, high-end acoustic manufacturer Larrivee Guitars and UK distributor Sound Technology are pleased to announce a series of UK clinics featuring Pete Smith together with special guest bass player Roger Inniss. Predominantly performance based, the clinic will also act as a Q&A session about Larrivee Guitars with an extensive range of guitars on display.

Thirty five years playing experience has made Pete Smith an extremely versatile and accomplished musician. Jazz, Blues, Folk, Ragtime, Calypso, Baroque and Bluegrass all get treated to his blistering fingerstyle technique and become playgrounds for his lightning improvisational skills. Rated as one of the UK`s finest guitarists he has gained a national reputation not only as a phenomenal player but also as a teacher and story teller. Regularly receiving standing ovations at top international Jazz, Blues and Folk Festivals, few musicians appeal to such a wide audience which is testament not only to his outstanding musicianship but also for being genuinely entertaining.

As a self-taught musician, bassist Roger Inniss began to listen to and study everything from Bix Beoderbecke to Roland Kirk, Eric Dolphy to Cecil Talor, Rock, Pop, Country - anything that would give him the opportunity to perform expressively. Over the years he has worked on projects with sculptors, actors, and visual artists and has appeared with numerous acts including the Steve Gibbons band, Elkie Brooks, Errol Brown (Hot Chocolate), Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones), Snowy White (Thin Lizzy & Pink Floyd) and Chaka Khan.
