Jack West and Walter Strauss guitar duo at Eric Schneider's House Concerts

An evening of acoustic brilliance with guitar duo Jack West & Walter Strauss, celebrating the release of their new LP, Guitars On Life. The concert offers audiences a rare chance to experience two masterful musicians in an intimate musical dialogue – one that spans genres, continents, and decades of innovation.

It’s a captivating joyride. West simultaneously plays bass, chords, and percussion lines, making intricate passages tumble and flow with graceful precision. Strauss weaves expertly filigreed melodies and improvisations that alternately careen around and caress West’s buoyant foundation. The intense pleasure that emanates from the duo’s interactions tells a vivid tale about two insistently idiosyncratic artists coming together to forge an intimately conversational sound.

NPR declares West’s music “a whole new sub-genre of jazz.” Acoustic Guitar Magazine says that Strauss has “managed to elevate the instrument and the genre on the whole.” Together, it is as if the two guitars were querying each other on the topic of life. Don’t miss this electrifying celebration of musical union, innovation, and connection.
