Any survey of Minnesota's natural wonders will mention the pristine lakes, forests, and rivers for which the state is famous. Musicians, guitar aficionados, and critics know the state is also home to a wondrous concentration of nationally and internationally acclaimed acoustic guitarists.

The Minnesota Guitar Wizards is a collaboration that celebrates and showcases this amazing pool of talent. Its purpose is to present to audiences the marvelous diversity of style and repertoire found in the music of five of these acoustic masters: Peter Lang, Dakota Dave Hull, Tim Sparks, Phil Heywood, and Dean Magraw. A typical concert will feature three or four of these artists presenting solo performances and group pieces.

Each show highlights the unique artistry of the individual players as well as the stunning creative synergy of the ensemble. With a dizzying array of musical genres at their disposal, including blues, ragtime, jazz, folk, gospel, Latin and traditional music of many cultures, the Minnesota Guitar Wizards tap American and world musical roots in their virtuoso performances of original compositions and covers of timeless pieces.
