Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

Join Governor’s Arts Award winner William Eaton for an intimate performance of his uniquely crafted guitars and stringed instruments in a special concert and presentation at Pueblo Grande Museum on Sunday, May 28.

Eaton, a multi-GRAMMY Award nominee, is internationally known for his one-of-a-kind stringed instruments, which he designs and builds. Eaton, who has crafted guitars for over 45 years including harp guitars, synth guitars, lyre guitars, and more, is also the Director of the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix.

Eaton was one of the first artists to collaborate with Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai with their first recording for Canyon Records, Carry the Gift, released in 1988. Since then, Eaton and Nakai have released an additional six albums of which four received GRAMMY nominations. Eaton has also released four recordings for Canyon with his William Eaton Ensemble. Eaton’s work with Nakai has been an important influence in the development of Native American music in demonstrating how a blending of cultures can lead to new artistic expressions for both cultures.

Tickets for this event are available online at pueblogrande.com for $10 in advance or $12 the day of at the Museum; children under age 6 are free with a reserved ticket. Discounts for Museum members are available. Museum admission is not required.
