For the January and February 2013 U.S. tour, IGN founder Brian Gore will be joined by Scotland's Martin Taylor, Solorazaf (from Madagascar), and Celso Machado from Canada via Brazil. Martin is revered in jazz circles for his smooth chord-melody style and walking bass lines. Solorazaf has a unique Malagasy style, mixing vocalizations with rhythmic guitar patterns and foot percussion. Celso is an internationally acclaimed guitarist, singer and composer known for his dynamic "one man band" performances. You can look forward to a particularly lyrical version of International Guitar Night, with a nice mix of playing and singing.
