Peppino D’Agostino’s music continues to resonant in Boothbay Harbor’s Opera House, though it’s been several years since his last performance on the historic stage. On Friday, Dec. 1, this acclaimed Italian fingerstyle guitarist returns to Maine to perform at the Opera House. 

The Chicago Tribune says “D’Agostino plays steel-string guitar with virtuosity and complexity. … Influences are as far-flung as the flamenco work of Paco de Lucia and the pop sensibility of the Beatles, evident in the songs he’s written, which brim with memorable melodies.” He’s been called “one of the most capable composers among fingerstyle guitarists” by Acoustic Guitar Magazine.
