Patchouli & Terra Guitarra perform The Landscape of Guitar

The locally living, internationally touring duo, Patchouli & Terra Guitarra are bringing their one-of-a kind production The Landscape of Guitar back to the stage at Winona Arts Center. Their previous multimedia concert at WAC sold out and it’s easy to know why. The duo’s instrumental guitar project, Terra Guitarra has four top 5 internationally charting albums and in May 2018 Terra Guitarra’s Of Sea & Stars won the award for Best Instrumental Album of the Year. Patchouli, their singer/songwriter project, is a Public Radio favorite featuring sparkling lead vocals, beautiful duets and award-winning compositions. The Chicago Tribune says “inspires the human spirit”.

Their world class musicianship is gorgeously amplified by the accompanying lush visual movement of the new Animated Painting Concert Experience, The Landscape of Guitar.

Twenty-five years of touring and 22 albums, guitarist/artist Bruce Hecksel and songwriter Julie Patchouli created this original concept using Hecksel’s Terra Guitarra® acrylic paintings of “guitar landscapes” where every element is a guitar shape, colorfully glittering like stained glass. The duo animated and composed the paintings to flow with the music performance seamlessly, producing a living vibrant backdrop.

In 2018 The Landscape of Guitar quite literally took flight around the world touring theaters in the US, Europe and China, which included art exhibitions on 3 continents of the original paintings used in the production. In 2019 they went on their 2nd tour to China and performed the show from coast to coast of the US.

Not only has this multi talented duo gone global, but they take the audience with them in their musical and artistic journey through The Landscape of Guitar.

On October 18th the show comes back to Winona with added new songs and new animation. The audience will travel from their seats in Winona to Barcelona, Stonehenge and other worlds where mermaids dive and faeries fly through the guitar constellations of the Milky Way. Soar over guitar canyons to fiery Spanish guitar pieces, like Malaguena. Walk guitar labyrinths in the guitar sunset through sweet vocal harmonies. Float on guitar clouds to the sound of Native American flutes and trek to the peaks of the guitar mountains with epic folk-rock anthems.
