MN Guitar Society Monthly FREE Concert - Women Take Stage!


6-9pm: Joan Griffith, Molly Maher and Gabriela Sweet Joan Griffith never met a string instrument she didn’t like. Growing up in Bellevue, Nebraska, she fell in love with the guitar while listening to Stan Getz and João Gilberto on their breakout Brazilian album. She immediately got her mother to purchase the record and, at age 14, proceeded to figure out how to play all the songs! Joan has taught at the University of St. Thomas and St. Catherine’s University among other schools. She is currently ensconced at Macalester College. She is a roster artist with COMPAS and the Minnesota State Arts Board. Molly Maher's performances are marked by an impressive balance of deep, soulful singing and insightful lyrics that delve into the human experience. Drawing from the deep roots of American music, she has honed a style that is both twangy and lament-filled, characterized by a guitar-driven country-folk-jam infused with gritty swagger. Gabriela Sweet collaborates with her resophonic Dobro and National guitars to open sound doors. She plays bottleneck slide in open tunings, featuring son montuno, blues, festejo, zydeco, jazz standards and boleros... and whatever the guitars want to play next. Sweet can sing in Spanish, English, French, Gaelic, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Tagalog, and Ukrainian!
