Saturday, May 31 – Bryan Sutton’s North Carolina Guitar Celebration, 7:30 PM in the Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium
Brevard Music Center and Mountain Song Productions proudly present the 4th Annual North Carolina Guitar Celebration, hosted by Grammy-winning flatpicking master Bryan Sutton. This star-studded event brings together an extraordinary lineup, including Ricky Skaggs, Dan Tyminski, Julian Lage, Alice Gerrard, Sharon White, Casey Driessen, Woody Platt, and more for a night honoring the state’s rich guitar traditions. Bridging the past, present, and future of acoustic music, Sutton—one of the most acclaimed guitarists of his generation—leads this electrifying tribute to the instrument’s enduring legacy.
Bryan Sutton is the most accomplished and awarded acoustic guitarist of his generation, an innovator who bridges the bluegrass flatpicking traditions of the 20th century with the dynamic roots music scene of the 21st. His rise from buzzed-about young sideman to first-call Nashville session musician to membership in one of history’s greatest bluegrass bands has been grounded in quiet professionalism and ever-expanding musicianship.
