From noise rock to acoustic roots music, as far as Andalusian Flamenco guitar and as wide as North African folk, Eric Carbonara is a musical mystic to has transcended every style and genre of playing guitar imaginable. This guitar guru started out mastering his own self-taught free-form gypsy styles, and has traveled as far as India to hone his skills even further. And album titles such as Selections From The Void… and Toward A Center Of Infinite Flux summarize his playing style far better than any music journalist can. And when he performs in a smaller venue like Highwire Gallery, you’ll have a chance to catch each intimate note and chord progression. He’ll also be sharing the bill with the likes of the Vavoom Quintet, the newest project from multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire Alan Sondheim that also features psych-folk cellist and Espers member Helena Espvall. This event will benefit Partner’s In Health’s very commendable Haitian relief work efforts. Highwire Gallery, 2040 Frankford Ave., 8pm, $6, All Ages (Photo by Noah Levey) – Bill McThrill
