Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Two Rivers Arts Council is welcoming Jeff Bianchi back to Demopolis to present a concert of classical guitar works.

The concert will take place Friday, April 25 from 6-8 p.m. in the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church, 401 N. Main Ave. in Demopolis. The program will consist of compositions spanning the 18th through 20th centuries.

A native of Williamson, New York, Bianchi began performing at weddings and cafes while still in his teens. The uniqueness of the classical guitar coupled with his professionalism enabled him to stay working over the years. As his skills grew, he gave full concerts throughout Western New York.

His hard work earned him performances at the Rantucci International Guitar Festival as well as the nationally recognized Ithaca Guitar Festival.  His concerts continued with his move to Atlanta in 2002. From 2005-2007 Jeff took a hiatus to tour nationally with Country acts Young Guns (Nashville, Tennnessee) and Chace Roberts (St. Paul, Minnesota).

As an electric guitarist, Bianchi toured much of North America; playing clubs and dance halls with capacity crowds. On his return home, Jeff resumed his solo performances and since that time he has performed at venues throughout the country. Currently, Jeff lives in Thomaston, Georgia, where his time is devoted solely to his music

This is the second of three scheduled events by Two Rivers Arts Council. In June author Jennifer Horne will be speaking about her recent book “Odyssey of a Wandering Mind: The Strange Tale of Sara Mayfield.” Also in the works is a mural on the side of 100 N. Walnut Avenue designed and executed by Selma artist Anne Smith Reeves featuring important historic sites.
