Guitar greats to visit Cincinnati

  • 2020-11-09
Two guitar masters are scheduled to appear in Cincinnati next month.

Brandon “Taz” Niederauer and Gabriel Kelley will be at Riverfront Live to liven up a cold winter evening. Teenager Niederauer is a native of Long Island, New York, and is known for his performance on Broadway in “School of Rock,” a musical in which he played Zack. Niederauer won praise for his work as the “stiff” guitar player who turns out to be a prodigy. He has also appeared on television on programs including “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “The Ellen Show.”

Also on the bill is Gabriel Kelley, who hails from Georgia. As a teen trying to find his own taste and style, he got great advice from a music teacher who told him he needed to find the type of music that made his hair stand up. He realized that he wanted to do more than play his favorite songs, and began writing his own music, trying to connect with audience members. His decision to write from the heart has led from Georgia, to Sweden, to Nashville, where he worked for a songwriting company. His defining moment came when he realized that:

“. . . if I didn't mean what I was saying, I have absolutely no reason to be on stage.”

The two will be in Cincinnati on December 19 at 7.00 pm, at Riverfront Live. Brochure printing can create programs for attendees at events like this.
