July in Nashville is always a welcome & exciting time of year, when hundreds of like-minded, high-spirited, thumb pickin’ guitar players convene for the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society annual convention. They’re here to celebrate the life and music of Mr. Guitar, none other than Chet Atkins. This year’s 27th convention will be July 13th through July 16th.
To learn more about attending this year’s 27th annual convention, please visit the CAAS website, and consider becoming an annual member to show your support for an extraordinary & unique music gathering. If you are planning to attend, you will want to get caught up on your sleep and do some wood-shedding before the convention. This has the potential to be the most enjoyable event you might attend all year!!
Back by popular demand, Artisan Guitars is proud to present our 6th annual pre-convention concert, always scheduled the Tuesday evening prior to the start of the convention. This show celebrates Chet’s musical contribution and highlights the inspiration he has brought to guitarists and musicians around the world. A great place to meet other guitarists and the chance to make some great friends. Oh – Did I mention the world class musical performances?... (Click here to view photos from our 2011 show)
