I will be teasing out more info about this gig very soon, but you won't see anything like it at a guitar festival that is for sure!

Classical Guitar Duo Cochran & McAllister went big for their new album Pale Blue Dot. The guitar virtuosos drew inspiration from space, from time, and from the writings of beloved astronomer Carl Sagan.
