Allan Holdsworth Returns to B.B. King's by Popular Demand July 8
Frank Zappa described him as "the most interesting guitarist on the planet" - most musicians would agree. Allan Holdsworth is not only the most interesting, he is also one of the most beloved...almost every other guitar great, from John McLaughlin to Eddie Van Halen, has hailed him as "a Grand Master"; "the greatest guitarist ever"; and other accolades of equal effusiveness. His fluid tone, advanced modal improvisations, and his dedication to the development of a totally original style of playing have elevated Allan to the status of guitar hero to the guitar heroes. Few players in the history of the instrument have garnered so mush respect. He has been inducted into Guitar Player's "Hall of Fame" and heralded by Musician as one of the top five "100 greatest guitarists of all time."
