Guitarist/composer Ben Garnett’s sophomore studio album, Kite’s Keep (2025), reimagines the acoustic guitar not as a lead voice, but as a cinematic landscape—an evocative space where fiddle, bass, and ensemble interplay bring guitar-born ideas to new life. With a dream team of acoustic virtuosos and a composer’s eye for drama and narrative, Garnett crafts songs that feel like short films—shifting fluidly from folk to bluegrass, pop to jazz, classical to avant-garde. For listeners ready to explore the guitar’s untapped world-building power, Kite’s Keep is an invitation to lean in and look again.

Adam Levy, Grant Gordy, and Joel Harrison will bring to the evening the variety of rich guitar sounds for which they are known. Matt Glassmeyer, who played piano on the album, will present something from his wide palette of sounds.

“You think you’ve heard it all until a Ben Garnett comes along to show us how much more there might be.”
— PREMIER GUITAR

“Garnett has a beautiful, curious, deep mind.”
— CHRIS ELDRIDGE (PUNCH BROTHERS)
