3rd Annual Coney Island Rockabilly Festival
Current mood:

enthralled
Category: Music

Over the Labor Day weekend (Sept 4-7, 2009) the sun glimmered on the Atlantic Ocean in Brooklyn, New York while at night a full moon glowed on the infamous boardwalk at Coney Island. There, the 3rd Annual "Coney Island Rockabilly Festival" held inside (and on the roof top!) of Cha Cha's Night Club, the sounds of Rockabilly & Psychobilly bands wailin' on Gretsch guitars were reported heard all the way to Penn Station in downtown Manhattan. Also featured were Burlesque dancers that left tongues waggin' & mind blowing "Freak Show" performers. Gretsch Guitars was a sponsor of the gala event and brought a spectacular display of guitars while indulging attendees with FREE Gretsch swag, souvenir photos posed with guitars & personally signed posters by Gretsch Girl, Kim Falcon who made a special IN-PERSON appearance.

Follow the coverage by roving reporter, Tim Harman (aka: Proteus) on the "Gretsch Discussion Page" forum who gives a blow-by-blow account of this AMAZING event. Check it out HERE.

GDP Norcal Gretsch® Roundup
Category: Music

That Great Gretsch® Sound was heard echoing in the skies on Oct 25 & 26 in Sonoma County, California. The GDP Norcal "ROUNDUP" took place at the home studio of Parabar in a beautiful rustic setting located in the city of Penngrove which sits peacefully about 56 miles north of San Francisco.

Though many vineyards could be found nearby, no vino was necessary to become intoxicated by the beautiful blue skies that gracefully faded into an evening filled with a million stars in the heavens. The weather couldn't have been more perfect for a gathering of great company, fine guitars, and the exchange of many passionate discussions on the subject everyone present had in common… Gretsch guitars!

24th Annual Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Show
Category: Music

24th Annual Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Show!

The 24th annual "CAAS" (Chet Atkins Appreciation Society) convention was once again held at the beautiful Sheraton Music City Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. The current price of gasoline didn't stop folks from around the globe from attending this four day event (July 9 – 12) that celebrates the life & music of legendary guitarist, Chet Atkins. Some of the finest finger-style guitar players in the world could be heard jamming in the hotel lobby, hallways & clinic rooms demonstrating their amazing talents.

The Gretsch Guitar Company participated by partnering with Broadway Sound (Knoxville, TN), to assemble a magnificent display of Atkins model guitars & related goods. Convention attendees were encouraged to make themselves at home and test drive the vast array of products. From the Gretsch Discussion Page (GDP) forum, roving reporter, Tim Harman (aka: Proteus) was on hand covering the event with commentary, photos & audio files.

The CAAS convention couldn't be a more fitting venue to introduce the NEW G6120-CGP Chet Atkins STEREO guitar. To a packed house, a moving tribute to Chet was delivered by his longtime bandleader & close friend, Paul Yandell (who was an integral part of the development of the NEW CGP guitar). Yandell shared stories, answered questions and officially introduced the NEW CGP guitar. Immediately following Paul's presentation, the CGP guitar was prominently displayed at the Broadway Sound/Gretsch booth for attendees to play & hear.
