Peppino D'Agostino June 22, 2012

Acoustic fingerstyle guitarist, singer and composer Peppino D'Agostino has been praised by the San Francisco Chronicle as "a poet...among the best talents around." Few can match Peppino's combined technical prowess and lyrical artistry on the steel string. Born in Torino, Italy, the self-taught musician began picking out tunes by ear, and inspired by legends like Paco de Lucia, Leo Kottke and Carlos Santana, was composing and recording solo throughout Italy by the age of 18. He immigrated to San Francisco in 1984 to pursue his dream as a composer and performer. D'Agostino has released twelve critically acclaimed albums.
