Franco Morone is a gifted guitar player and composer and highly-regarded guitar teacher. His musical background is diverse, including everything from Deep Purple concerts in his Italian youth, to American blues giants like Blind Blake, to the inspirational guitar work of Leo Kottke. His own music is similarly versatile, covering everything from blues and jazz to Celtic, traditional Italian, Californian New Age, and more. At a recent concert with Muriel Anderson, he even broke into a duet of Foggy Mountain Breakdown.

Franco is one of those true musicians who can say whatever he wants to say with his guitar, which makes his live performances even better than his fine recordings. If he's playing anywhere near you, you really owe it to yourself to hear his graceful, passionate, and remarkably enjoyable music live.
