Municipal Auditorium
Enjoy breathtaking performances and a variety of music styles
in the intimate setting of the world-famous Municipal Auditorium from the stage
where Elvis began his career in the company of countless other country and rock icons. James' vision for the Guitar Greats Concert is to continue the legacy that began with the first concert in August 2005.
"We had incredible shows in 2005, 2007 and 2008
with some of the best entertainers in the industry.
Our FOURTH show will continue that tradition.
It's going to be an event you'll never forget."
