International Guitar Night features diverse talents, styles

Since its launch two dozen years ago, International Guitar Night has grown from performances in a handful of venues to encompass more than 80 shows in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Brian Gore, a Portland-based singer-songwriter, created International Guitar Night as a way to showcase the solo guitar musicians from around the world he finds and brings together to perform on a single stage. Gore recently has a new album of his own. He joins us along with 2 of the musicians, guitarist Thu Le from Vietnam, and Luca Stricagnoli from Italy. Le and Stricagnoli tell us more about their love of their instrument and play a few pieces ahead of their shows this week in Bend and Beaverton.
