Beppe Gambetta returns to Godfrey Daniels with a lifetime of music that bridges oceans and generations. Hailing from Genova, Italy, Gambetta has carved a singular path as a guitarist, composer, and cultural ambassador, blending American roots and European traditions into a vibrant, distinctive sound. From early collaborations with Norman Blake and Tony Trischka to his solo projects exploring Italian string virtuosi and immigrant ballads, Gambetta’s work invites listeners into a rich, cross-cultural conversation shaped by fifty years of musical exploration. His latest release, Terra Madre, features collaborators like David Grisman, Tim O’Brien, and Howard Levy, continuing his legacy of crafting heartfelt compositions rooted in heritage and human experience.

Opening the evening is Rees Shad, a masterful Americana storyteller known for his deep catalog of narrative-driven songs and cinematic songwriting approach. Together, Gambetta and Shad offer a night of acoustic depth and global perspective—an experience tailor-made for Godfrey Daniels’ intimate, listening-room setting.
