Jim Campilongo is a New York roots rock guitarist, known for the sound of his 1959 Telecaster that he plays with a hybrid right-hand technique that involves the use of both a plectrum and his fingers, capturing elements of country, bluegrass, blues, and rock and roll.

He writes the popular monthly column Vinyl Treasures for Guitar Player Magazine and has recorded a series of instrumental albums with his trio and is a member of The Little Willies band with pianist and vocalist Norah Jones.

For this intimate performance he will be joined by Luca Benedetti (guitar), Andy Hess (bass) and Dan Rieser (drums).
