Adrian Belew Performs Painting With Guitar at the Cotuit Center for the Arts, 6/28

On Monday, June 28th at 8pm, we invite you to join us for Adrian' Belew's latest live offering. It's a one-man-show, but a very different one-man-show: an electric guitar feast that demonstrates the latest technology with which Adrian has been working, and the new music it is helping to create. This is a brand new more personalized show which highlights music not normally played with King Crimson or the Power Trio. In addition, 30 lucky people will be able to purchase a VIP ticket, which will includes a meet and greet session with Adrian at a reception prior to the show and reserved seating.

The show will begin with Adrian playing his masterpiece guitar, the Parker Fly Adrian Belew Signature Model through an Apple laptop. The effect has been electrifying on his creative juices, allowing him to write material that would have been impossible to create only a year ago. He will perform some of his most fiery guitar work while playing some new pieces and improvising over the live loops. Another recent technological leap forward has been the invention of a hand-held device called Tenori-On, which has to be seen and heard to be appreciated. Adrian will perform some new music which includes the Tenori-On.

To personalize the show, Adrian will answer questions from the audience about gear, past musical associations, the creative process and other subjects, often with part illuminating, part humorous results. The stage will also be decorated with some of Adrian's paintings thanks to fans' requests to see more of his art up close. Most of the paintings have been included in recent CD packages.

Painting with Guitar is a new, personal, up-close, improvised multi-media presentation of the best state-of-the-art music Adrian has to offer. It would be a shame to hear about it later when you could witness it in person now.
