Eight Gigs: McAllister Keller Guitar Duo
Sat., May 16, 7:30 p.m., Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, $10-$15
Classical guitarists Derek Keller (from Sacramento) and Colin McAllister (Colorado, pictured) comprise the McAllister Keller Guitar Duo. At this Saturday show (and one more at 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 17, at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Antelope), they present a program called Songs: Old and New. It features songs spanning four centuries—from the Renaissance era to the present day. MKGD will play old songs from John Dowland and Robert Johnson (the English composer, not the American blues guitarist), plus Italian, South American and original works composed by Keller himself. Keller also has a strong tenor singing voice which compliments the duo's nimble guitar work. 2620 Capitol Avenue, www.derekkeller.com/music-art/MKGD.
