Rik Emmett Playing Sarnia Ribfest July 24, 2010

Recently found out the Rik Emmett is playing a free concert at this year's Sarnia Ribfest on July 24th, 2010. Rik Emmett has always been one of my most favourite guitarists and I am looking forward to the free concert and a night out with my friends. Last time Rik Emmett played in Sarnia was for a guitar clinic show at The Lazy Duck Lounge back in Feb. 2007. It was the best $5.00 ticket I ever bought for a show. The venue was a small room upstairs with capacity for 200 people only and I got front seats for the show. It was so awesome to watch the guitar fretwork of Mr. E.! Afterwards, Rik stuck around to autograph posters for each member of the audience and a chance to talk to one of my favourite Canadian musicians. The concert this summer is going to be such a blast!

Here is the new CD by the Strung-Out Troubadours called "Push & Pull" ready to be released on May 26, 2009. The Troubs are Rik Emmett and Dave Dunlop and these guys rock!

Here is a new video that the Strung-Out Troubadours did for TRAYNOR Instrument Amplificaton. The song is called "Deeper Kind of Blue" and you can check out the video at the following link on Rik's website. http://www.rikemmett.com/troubs/

Check out Rik and Dave playing Gibson Les Pauls plugged into Traynor Custom Special Series All-Tube guitar amps. "I have got to get me one of these!!!!!" I want to buy a new guitar amp and now I will have to try out one of the Traynor models. Just listen to the sounds that Rik and Dave are getting from these amps! Totally awesome tone!

Found Photos on Facebook

Earlier tonight I was on facebook and I found some great pictures on "Kurt Kuthe's" page. Guitarists Alex Lifeson and Rik Emmett at the 2006 Guitar Workshop in Toronto, ON. All I have to say is AWESOME! My two favourite Canadian guitarists jamming it up on the same stage! A couple years back I attended a guitar clinic show by Rik Emmett here in Sarnia and I was front row watching a master at work! After the show I had a chance to talk with Rik while he autographed a poster and made suggestions on great Yamaha brand guitars! The event was sponsored by Yamaha Music Canada. The best $5.00 ticket I ever bought!!! I have yet to meet Alex Lifeson or see him play live with "Rush". Hopefully someday I will get that chance.
