New York Guitarist Comes to Manayunk

Touring New York guitarist and songwriter Daryl Shawn performs at the Grape Room, located at 105 Grape St. in Philadelphia's Manayunk neighborhood on Saturday, January 25 at 7 p.m. Admission is $7, and limited to those 21 and over. Also appearing are local artists Pete Groch, Peace Dogs, and Katya Blue.
An alumnus of Berklee College of Music who went on to develop his craft during five years in Oaxaca, Mexico, Daryl Shawn combines his taste for unusual chords with the guitar-thumping techniques of flamenco and rhythms culled from African music to create an eclectic mix fueled by a healthy appetite for rocking out (and sometimes, blissing out). He often complements his impressive guitar skills with winsome, colorful rhymes. Fans of Rodrigo y Gabriela, Tommy Emmanuel and Kaki King will find much of interest in his music.

"Daryl Shawn is one of those acoustic guitar gems that can seize you and drag you along with him in an erratic dance in the pick of a string." - Deli Magazine, New York

"...possesses the ability to take a nylon-string guitar and make it roar with dynamic precision and raging power..." - Guitar International
