Blues Guitarist Matt Schofield Nov 2 at ChappPAC

From On Tour PR: Chappaqua Performing Arts Center continues its sensational inaugural season on Thursday, November 2 at 8 pm with a performance by blues guitar virtuoso Matt Schofield.

Tickets for the Matt Schofield are $16 - $34 and can be purchased online at Ticketmaster.com, by calling 1-800-745-3000 or at the lobby box office on day of the show.

With a series of highly lauded albums to his credit, English blues guitarist Matt Schofieldhas earned a steady string of critical kudos, from a ranking in the top ten of current British blues guitarists by Guitar & Bass Magazine to his induction into the British Blues Awards Hall of Fame and a series of high profile performances alongside such notables as Buddy Guy and Robben Ford. Matt Schofield adds a seamless blend of funk, jazz and classic covers to his trademark sound, bending the boundaries while still staying true to a seminal style.

While Schofield's fluid playing is often singled out for distinction, it’s also been compared to that of the three Kings -- B.B., Freddie and Albert, along with his acknowledged influences of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Billy Gibbons, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. It’s little wonder that the Los Angeles Daily News wrote, “In Schofield, the UK has produced the best Blues guitarist from any country in decades… head and shoulders above the herd.” Or, that the respected English music magazine Mojo recognized him with the Blues Album of the Year. Likewise, it was no accident that the Penguin Book of Blues Recordings cited him as one of only two living British artists to achieve the maximum four-star rating.

In addition to the mainstage performance, patrons are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the Northern Westchester Artists Guild’s art exhibition entitled “Method & Melody” on display in the Center’s lobby.

The Chappaqua Performing Arts Center is located at 480 Bedford Road, Chappaqua, NY 10514 just inside the gate on the former Reader’s Digest campus.
