PEPPINO D'AGOSTINO has earned a place on the short list of the world's very best acoustic guitarists. A true creative genius blesses with dazzling technical ability. Peppino's original compositions are introduced to international audiences by an artist of rare charisma. He is regularly featured in guitar magazines such as Acoustic Guitar, Guitar Player, Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine and Chitarre (Italy). As the Anchorage Daily news wrote, "In addition to being a total scholar and master of the acoustic solo guitar, Peppino is also an astonishing entertainer."

"Obsessed" with the guitar since he heard his cousin play in his native Italy when he was a boy, Peppino is among the most versatile guitarists on the scene today, fusing many styles and cultures into his own. He collaborated on breakthrough CDs with classical guitar master David Tanenbaum creating Classic/Steel and with Huey Lewis and the News electric guitarist, Stef Burns on Bayshore Road. Peppino's most recent CD, Nine White Kites. The new CD brims with the agility and artistry that has earned D’Agostino praise as “a giant of the acoustic guitar” (San Diego Reader) and “a poet… among the best talents around” (San Francisco Chronicle).
