Live In Store Demonstration: Gibson Firebird X

The Firebird X, with its onboard effects, robot tuners, and computer connectivity, is the most advanced instrument Gibson have ever produced.  The range of tones and features that this high-tech marvel can achieve are just mind boggling, so to help regular folks like us get a grip on what this next-generation guitar is all about, Gibson is sending internationally acclaimed recording artist Richard Barone to The Music Zoo on Tuesday, September 27th at 7:00pm for a live demonstration.  This clinic is free and open to the public.  Here’s a little information about Richard:

Richard Barone is an acclaimed recording artist, performer, producer, and author.  Since his beginnings on radio at age seven as “The Littlest DJ” and later fronting indie-pop icons The Bongos, Barone has produced countless studio recordings. He has collaborated with artists in every musical genre – from Lou Reed and Moby to Liza Minnelli, Tiny Tim and most recently, Pete Seeger. As musical and theatrical director, he has scored shows and staged all-star concert events at such venues as Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl. His memoir FRONTMAN: Surviving the Rock Star Myth was published by Hal Leonard Books and performed as a Musical Reading at Carnegie Hall. Barone lives in New York City, where he recently completed work on his fifth solo album, Glow (Bar/None Records) produced by Tony Visconti and others. Barone is currently on tour in the US and UK.
