FIRST of all, a CONGRATULATIONS to our NICK VIGARINO for his being an INVITED Artist at the prestigious Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival.
The Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival is a nonprofit association that is dedicated to creating an international world class event, ‘By Inviation Only’, bringing first rate musicians and appreciative audiences from across the globe, generate tourism and raise cultural awareness within the community while raising money for art and cultural endeavors in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo.
Founded in 2004, the festival has grown every year in prestige, talent and size. ZIGF is truly a community festival and we rely heavily on support from our audience, our community, and the musicians themselves, who donate their time and talent in exchange for a week with us here in paradise. The operations of the festival are carried out by a volunteer organizing committee and dedicated community members who volunteer in the weeks leading up to and during the festival.
Individuals and businesses donate funds, meals, airfare, ground transportation, accommodations, audio/visual services and more, making this a genuine community celebration.
Here’s a THANK YOU to the Sponsors! http://www.zihuafest.com/sponsors.html
Some Nick stuff:
"Whether it’s a juke or a major festival, Nick Vigarino delivers the story with a stinging guitar that is second to none" - Seattle Times
"Vigarino radiates an unpredictable fervor with slashing slide guitar, powerful vocals, funky licks, and his 'slop jar delta funk'. His style elevates the 'blues' to a place where roots are respected, yet nudged towards the future. He consistently captures, then rivets listeners with precise, passionate performances." - Jefferson Magazine (Sweden)
2015 Best of the Blues Awards: Best Slide Guitar, Best Solo Act
Finalist - International Blues Challenge – Memphis
And as Nick said upon receiving his ‘Invitation’: “I am honored to have been selected again to perform at one of the most beautiful festivals on earth! Out da door.................... ”
