Event Description

The 24th Annual Tour assembles a lineup of three IGN favorites and an exciting newcomer. LUCA STRICAGNOLI (Italy), the amazing acoustic rock interpreter, will be returning for the 4th time. THU LE (Vietnam), whose nylon string artistry stretches from classical to contemporary) was on the IGN 2022 tour. MARCO PEREIRA (Brazil), the master composer and performer, first toured with IGN in its early days and returns for his final go-round in 2024. And MINNIE MARKS (Australia), the irrepressible blues slide guitarist and singer, not only is new to IGN but will be making her North American debut.

Luca Stricagnoli is considered one of the most interesting acoustic guitarists in the world. Using up to five guitars in the same piece, modified capos, and self-conceived stratagems, Luca continually leaves his audiences in awe and wondering what’s next for the up-and- coming guitarist. In addition to his musical abilities, Luca brings an enthusiastic energy to the stage that makes him a true entertainer.

Thu Le is an international, award-winning classical guitarist and certified guitar teacher. She began playing at the age of four under the guidance of her father. She is the youngest-ever student admitted to the prestigious National Conservatory of Music in Hanoi. Thu has graced stages around the world, performing as a soloist and hosting a series of successful master classes throughout North America, UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as regular performances in her home country of Vietnam. In addition to her solo work, she collaborates and performs with orchestras, in string quartets, and in duets with violinists and flutists.

Marco Pereira is an internationally renowned Brazilian composer, guitarist, and university professor. Born in São Paulo and trained with the Uruguayan master Isaias Sávio and at the Music and Drama Conservatory of São Paulo. He has performed and recorded with many top popular Brazilian singers/composers and performed in North America on several occasions with International Guitar Night.

Minnie Marks is a rare triple threat from winning the world renowned ‘Bluesfest Busking Competition’ in 2011, to taking out the People’s Choice Award’ at both Blues At Bridgetown and Nannup Music Festival. Relentlessly performing across the globe, equipped with an old Goldtop and a revolutionary Farmer Foot Drum; Marks consistently pushes musical limits with mind-blowing, dynamic guitar wizardry and her insanely powerful voice. Marks creates bone marrow shaking grooves with spare limbs on her Foot Drum kit.
