Mr. Guitar at 100: A Tribute to Chet Atkins

The music and magic of Chet Atkins spans one century, crosses multiple artistic industries, touches a thousand recording careers, and envelopes one of the widest repertoires of a single artist. Rock n Roll, Country music, Classical, Jazz, Blues, folksong, and styles from around the world were all at Mr Guitar’s fingertips. This concert pulls from deep within his own catalogue, pays tribute to his heroes like Django Reinhardt and Mother Maybelle Carter, and features the music of some of his most treasured collaborators. Chet Atkins, Certified Guitar Player, defined the modern music industry, reinvented what it means to be a guitarist, and inspired millions of musicians. He truly is Mr. Guitar.

“When I was a little boy, I told my dad, ‘When I grow up, I want to be a musician.’ My dad said: ‘You can’t do both, Son’.”
