Copy_of_pic2_(1)2 Fabulous Guitarists 

At The Performance Space (brunch available by La Plancha) is on Sunday, August 11, 11am-1pm

David Yard is a long-time performer and mentor of guitar. In 1984 he established a studio in Santa Fe after extensive studies of guitar and composition at Arizona State University in Tempe.  The concert events feature Yard sharing his guitar expertise with his popular Baroque Period repetoire and original compositions.

Daniel Weston is known for revealing the breadth and beauty of guitar in over 700 shows since turning professional in 1996 after earning Bachelor and Master of Music degrees. He is a direct heir by mentorship to legendary guitarist Francisco Tarrega (1852-1909), considered the founder of classical guitar method.   Weston’s specialty is the music of the Spanish Impressionists and pieces of his own composition.

Yard and Weston perform enduring solo guitar favorites.  They are the outstanding ‘2 Fabulous Guitarists’.  Each will play a forty five minute set of showpieces from 500 years of music masterpieces.

REEL New Mexico Presents

“POW WOW HIGHWAY” Tuesday, August 13, at 7 p.m. in The Performance Space. The state’s only ongoing film series dedicated to showing movies with a New Mexico connection, is excited to present “Pow Wow Highway,” winner of the 1989 Filmmakers Trophy (Dramatic Competition) at the Sundance Film Festival.
Hailed by many, on its release, as the first Native American road movie, “Pow Wow Highway” zeros in on the Northern Cheyenne tribe of Lame Deer, Montana, for whom the American Dream has taken a grim detour. A Martinez plays Buddy Red Bow, a committed activist battling a suspicious land grab. In contrast, Philbert Bono (actor Gary Farmer in a performance Roger Ebert called “one of the most wholly convincing I’ve seen”) is a serene spiritual warrior guided by sacred visions. When Buddy’s estranged sister is framed and jailed in New Mexico, the two men take off in Philbert’s ’64 Buick “war pony” on a road trip that takes some unexpected turns. Jonathan Wacks, who produced “Repo Man,” directed this acclaimed comedy/drama about Native Americans understanding their past, fighting for their future and discovering a few truths along the “Pow Wow Highway.” Reel New Mexico presents films with a New Mexico connection on the second Tuesday of the month, at 7 p.m. in The Performance Space at La Tienda Center, off Avenida Vista Grande at 285. Directions are at http://www.reelnewmexico.com . A contribution of five dollars is suggested.

Santa Fe’s Brightest New Music Artist to Film Live Show

Santa Fe, NM. After releasing his latest CD Book of Shadows earlier this year, Daniel Link introduces his new band line-up in a special concert, which will be filmed at The Performance Space  at La Tienda on December 12, 2012. 7 to 8 PM. Tickets only $10. (Advanced tickets at danielLink.com or at the door)

After arriving in Santa Fe from Austin in 2010, it didn’t take long for Daniel’s musical and songwriting gifts to catch the eyes and ears of the upper echelons of the Santa Fe music community, including Vince Bell and Catfish Hodge (both making guest vocal performances on Daniel’s new CD) and Jono Manson, who co-produced Book of Shadows. Late this summer, when Daniel was ready to start doing local shows and regional touring, he decided to form a brand new musical entity, simply called “Daniel Link Band”. The line-up features local bad-asses Daniel Murphy on guitar and harmony vocals, Britt Alexander on drums, and John Perado on bass and harmony vocals.

“There are no stars in this band,” Daniel insists, “I made that clear with these guys from day one. Yeah, I wrote all the material, and yeah I am the primary front man, but I see that as what I contribute to the band as a whole. The truth is I have the utmost respect for each of them; this band is powerful…and with Daniel (Murphy), I am in awe to be standing next to him onstage…he is just as much a front man as I am in this band…not to mention one of the best guitarists and most creative spirits I’ve ever worked with. Period.”

The band wants to formally invite Santa Feto be a part of their early history and their first video as the Daniel Link Band. For more information, please visit www.daniellink.com.
