New West Guitars have developed a widespread reputation as one of the premier jazz guitar ensembles in the world. Their signature sound comes from an innovative style that highlights rhythm, beauty, and virtuosity showcasing the warm sound of “archtop” guitars. They perform exciting originals, jazz standards, and popular songs and present an unforgettable guitar-driven show!

Praised as “sharp and refined” by the Seattle Times, New West Guitars have released seven full-length albums since 2005. Each project features a unique style of laid-back virtuosity and finely crafted arrangements. Their music is regularly featured on NPR and jazz radio stations, while their repertoire is performed throughout the country by college and high school guitar programs. New West Guitars’ versatility as players and composers have given them a reputation as pioneers in the realm of guitar ensemble.

Tonight’s performance will feature LA-based guitarist Will Brahm and NYC-based guitarist Perry Smith. They will be supported by a top-notch rhythm section with Karl McComas-Reichl on bass and Dan Schnelle on drums.
