Great Acoustic Guitar Artistry

"Peppino's playing is amazing: he has incredible rhythms and melodies. I just saw him play a few days ago. He says that his musical focus is creating melodies; and he succeeds with beautiful melodies. His rhythmic groove on his faster pieces is incredible: you can't stop your foot bouncing. He uses odd meters such as 5/4 to great driving effect; and always with a fine melody. He slower pieces are always beautiful and evocative. He unique musical voice is nurtured by classical, Mediterranean folk, blues, Celtic, funk, and informed by the music of Michael Hedges, Leo Kottke, and Peter Finger.This album is wonderful, and it is done as solo acoustic guitar: nothing gets in the way of his fine guitar playing. The last track has some characteristic parts played by Peter Finger, who also engineered it at his Acoustic Music Studios. Great record."

Peppino is Awesome!

"I watched and listened to Peppino play at a children's benefit concert. I was blown away with his playing ability and creativity. Since then, I have kept his cd playing over and over! I introduce his music to everyone I can. He is awesome! So far, everybody who has listened has fallen in love with Peppino!
You will too! Buy the CD... You won't believe the volume of music that Peppino brings out of one guitar!"
