Event Description

The world’s premier touring guitar festival is back after a hiatus in 2021 (much like the rest of the world). The wait has been worth it. The new lineup, once again curated by IGN founder, Brian Gore, includes talented fresh faces from the world over, and a guest host already familiar to Cowichan audiences.

IGN 2022 features Luca Stricagnoli (Italy), Thu Le (Vietnam), Jim “Kimo” West (Hawaii) and guest host, Lulo Reinhardt (Germany). They will bring their guitars, their talents, and a good time to the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre. The audience can expect to enjoy classical guitar, modern fingerstyle, jazz, Latin swing, and gypsy jazz stylings, paired with some contemporary hits to hum along to.
