Internationally acclaimed Italian acoustic guitarist and composer Peppino D’Agostino is celebrated for his poetic fingerstyle technique, innovative compositions, and distinctive use of open tunings and percussive effects. With 19 albums and performances in more than 39 countries, he has earned recognition as one of the world’s leading acoustic guitarists. Guitar Player magazine named him one of the 50 best acoustic guitarists of all time.
Known for his expressive virtuosity and adventurous musical spirit, Peppino has shared the stage with legendary artists including Tommy Emmanuel, Leo Kottke, Larry Carlton, and Eric Johnson. His music blends classical, jazz, folk, and world influences into what he affectionately calls “minestrone music”—a rich, original fusion of styles that captivates audiences worldwide.
Two-time Grammy Award-winning violinist and composer Mads Tolling is internationally recognized for his extraordinary versatility and vibrant fusion of jazz, classical, folk, funk, and R&B. Originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, and now based in San Francisco, he is a former member of the legendary Turtle Island Quartet and bassist Stanley Clarke’s band. He has performed with musical icons including Chick Corea, Ramsey Lewis, Kenny Barron, and Sergio and Odair Assad.
Since 2021, Mads has been a featured member of Bob Weir’s Wolf Bros and Wolf Pack, performing at iconic venues including Red Rocks, the Greek Theatre, and Radio City Music Hall. A DownBeat Critics Poll Rising Star Violin Award winner, he is also an acclaimed composer whose violin concertos have been commissioned by American orchestras. With more than 1,000 performances worldwide through his own groups and collaborations, Mads continues to push the boundaries of contemporary violin.
