One of the best acoustic guitar players in the business will be picking here Friday, April 1, when the Bryan Sutton Band plays The Camp House.

Frontman Bryan Sutton has been named Guitarist of the Year seven times by the International Bluegrass Music Association and earned a Grammy in 2007 for Best Country Instrumental Performance for his duet recording of “Whiskey Before Breakfast” with Doc Watson.

Sutton entered the bluegrass world in 1995 as a member of Ricky Skaggs’ Kentucky Thunder band, playing on two Grammy Award-winning records. After his tenure with Skaggs, he built a career as a top studio guitarist in Nashville. His playing can be heard on projects from multiple artists, including Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift and Harry Connick Jr. He also has toured with Bela Fleck and Chris Thile and the revived version of bluegrass supergroup Hot Rize.

The Hamilton County Ramblers will be special guests for Friday’s show, presented by Gig City Productions.
