Pat Donohue in Concert Sunday, May 26th, 7 p.m. The Surge Community Church 1988 Kirby Road McLean, VA 22101 Sponsored by the Songwriters’ Association of Washington Grammy-winning fingerstyle guitarist Pat Donohue will appear on Sunday, May 26th, at The Surge Community Church in McLean, Virginia. He will be in the area for two performances at the Wolf Trap Center for the Performing Arts. This is your chance to see him perform solo, in an intimate setting. Pat has earned national recognition for his mastery of acoustic fingerstyle guitar, which he exhibits weekly as the guitarist for the Guys All Star Shoe Band on Garrison Keillor’s radio program “A Prairie Home Companion.” Chet Atkins called him one of the greatest finger pickers in the world today. Leo Kottke called his playing “haunting.” Although he considers himself foremost a folk guitarist, Pat manages to blend jazz and blues with folk, and the mix is seamless. Over the years he has captivated audiences with his unique original compositions, dazzling instrumentals, and humorous song parodies, including Sushi-Yucky and Would You Like to Play the Guitar? Honors include a Grammy award for his participation in the Best Pop Instrumental of 2005, a collection of Henry Mancini guitar arrangements called Pink Guitar; several Minnesota Music Awards; and the prestigious title of 1983 National Finger Picking Guitar Champion. His original tunes have been recorded by Chet Atkins, Suzy Bogguss, and Kenny Rogers. Pat also has been a featured performer at major music festivals including the Newport, Telluride, Philadelphia, and Winfield Folk Festivals.
