Artur Menezes
Experience world-class blues, dinner, and drinks — all in one intimate setting.
Eric Clapton handpicked Artur Menezes to play the Crossroads Guitar Festival at Madison Square Garden, and one listen explains why. The Brazilian born, Los Angeles based guitarist won the Blues Foundation's Gibson/Albert King Award for best guitarist, cut his last two albums with Josh Smith producing, and shared a track with Joe Bonamassa. His playing marries the fire of Hendrix to the phrasing of the great blues masters, all delivered with a showman's snap and a songwriter's heart. A veteran of the all star Experience Hendrix Tour, Menezes brings that big stage voltage into a room where every bent note lands inches away. Seats at a night like this go fast.

Born in Brazil, Menezes fell for the blues at thirteen and sharpened his craft in Chicago, sitting in with south side veterans like John Primer and Phil Guy before settling in Los Angeles. Since then he has toured the world's great guitar festivals and earned a Two-Rock amplifiers endorsement, building a reputation as one of the most electrifying young players in modern blues. Expect deep grooves, soaring solos, and serious soul.
