International Guitar Night (IGN) is the longest-running guitar tour in America, going into its 27th year.  Created to give acoustic guitarists a platform to play their latest original compositions and collaborate with their peers, IGN has grown into a Fine Arts phenomenon, playing in performing arts centers from Alaska to Massachusetts.   The 2027 tour has 46 shows featuring performers from Italy, Australia, France and Hawaii.

 

Jim “Kimo” West is one of the world’s foremost Hawaiian “slack key” guitarists, known for his warm, fingerpicked style rooted in the rich musical traditions of Hawai‘i. A 2021 Grammy® Award winner and multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano nominee, Kimo has earned international acclaim for his original compositions, inventive arrangements, and dedication to keeping this treasured acoustic guitar tradition alive. His music has reached millions of listeners through streaming platforms, Sirius XM, the Calm app, and performances at major slack key festivals around the world.

Minnie Marks is a powerhouse singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and electrifying guitarist known for her ferocious live performances and genre-defying sound. Armed with her Goldtop guitar, soul-soaked voice, and foot drum, Marks creates a massive one-woman wall of sound that has captivated audiences around the world. Named Musician of the Year at the 2025 Sunshine Coast Music Awards, she has earned acclaim for her virtuosic guitar work, unstoppable stage presence, and fearless approach to blues, rock, and roots music.

 

Roxane Elfasci is a Paris-based French classical guitarist known for her expressive artistry, elegant transcriptions, and wide-ranging repertoire. A graduate of the Pôle Supérieur de Paris, she has released several acclaimed recordings, including Hommage à Debussy, Poésie Française, and her 2025 project GLASS GAZE, which reimagines Philip Glass’s piano études for two guitars and drums. She performs regularly as a soloist and in duo at festivals throughout France and abroad, has appeared on France Musique and BBC Radio 3, and shares her work with a growing international audience online.

 

Luca Stricagnoli is an Italian acoustic guitarist and fingerstyle innovator celebrated for his unconventional techniques, custom multi‑neck guitars, and viral arrangements of rock, pop, and soundtrack classics. With over 100 million YouTube views and tours in 20+ countries, he has drawn praise from artists like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. His inventions, such as the reverse triple‑neck guitar and reverse slide neck, expand the instrument’s possibilities, making him a standout live performer and recording artist.
