Pierre Bensusan: The Infinite Guitar Tour 2026
French guitarist Pierre Bensusan has spent five decades reshaping what a single acoustic guitar can do, earning the nickname "Mister DADGAD" for the open tuning he made his own.
His accolades read like a survey of the genre's highest honors: the Rose d'Or at the Montreux Festival for his debut album, the Independent Music Award for his triple live album "Encore," and a readers' poll win for Best World Music Guitarist from Guitar Player Magazine. Michael Hedges once named a composition after him. Steve Vai released three of his albums on Favored Nations. Guitarists from Tommy Emmanuel to Pat Metheny count among his admirers, and his most recent studio credit finds him collaborating on Donny Osmond's album "Start Again."
Since his first shows in 1974, Bensusan has sold half a million albums and performed thousands of concerts worldwide, moving fluidly between jazz harmony, folk phrasing, and classical counterpoint without ever losing the intimacy of a single voice and a single guitar.
That intimacy is exactly what a City Winery stage was built for. Settle in with a glass from our in-house wine program and let Bensusan's fingerstyle work its way through a room built for listening. This is Americana and folk programming at its most direct: one guitarist, one instrument, and a level of command that turns a solo set into something closer to a full band.
Reserve your seats for an evening of DADGAD guitar artistry, only at City Winery Nashville.
