This Joe Euro Candlelight Concert performance will feature Acoustic, Instrumental “Neo-Classical”/“Finger Style” Guitar, highlighting many of Mr. Euro’s “Neo-Classical” original compositions and some actual Classical Guitar pieces, “plucked from the Classical Guitar Repertoire.” Mr. Euro is often referred to as a “Classical Guitarist” but Joe explains that he neither has the time or the discipline to stay on top of that repertoire. And besides, after learning classical guitar techniques over the years, he is more motivated to play his “neo-classical” pieces, and arrangements often composed by him, and often utilizing a few different “open tunings.”

Joe makes a tentative “set list” for his performance but prefers to be able to “go rogue” and deviate from that, should the spirit move.

Some of Mr. Euro’s set may also include arrangements of some lite jazz standards, and most likely a few “covers”, and last, but not least, a bit of his “Ambient Space Guitar” pieces utilizing a digital reverb and a volume pedal, to draw down all that “Taj Mahal”-like reverb. This is a sound he enjoyed developing and experimenting with when he moved to this area back in 1979 and would bring his guitar into the bunkers at Fort Flagler. Joe also was able to get into the “Cistern” at Fort Worden, which also inspired him to use this “Big Spacey Sound” which is now accessible with some of his guitarsenal” of various guitars and “gizmology.”

Mr. Euro’s “day job”, The Wine Seller, located on Water St. in Port Townsend, was founded by him in 1982. It is one of Washington State’s oldest and finest wine/bottle shops. Besides wine and music, Joe loves to travel. He has hosted and guided many European and one South American “Small Group Journeys” and is still filling the last few spaces for his next Small Group Journey to Spain from September 26th – October 6th, 2023.
