In 1964, The Beatles came to America, the World’s Fair came to Queens, Cassius
Clay became The Greatest, and Ed Sullivan commandeered the Living
Room on Sunday Night.
Vocalist / guitarist Pat Guadagno’s sixth album, 1964, collects glorious songs recorded
in that magical year in folk, pop, and show music. He reimagines songs
from Lennon & McCartney to Lerner & Lowe, Dylan and Paxton to the Beach
Boys.
The album plays to Guadagno’s distinctive strength as an artist. Acoustic Guitar
Magazine, after referencing “his mastery of the acoustic guitar,” said it best:
“What sets him apart is his refusal to perform the songs in anything resembling
their original style, and his effortless intuitiveness gives them new meanings.”
