In celebration of the National Music Centre's "Year of the Guitar," join Russell Broom and his guest Keane Eng from Calgary boutique pedal company Dingotone for a guided tour of their respective pedalboards. The guitar virtuosos will explore some rare vintage stomp boxes and discuss how guitar pedals influence the sound of the instrument.
Participation in this program is included with General Admission to Studio Bell. This program will take place in one of National Music Centre's latest exhibitions — Showcase: Guitars. Due to limited space within this exhibition, registration is required! Sign up here.
While you're here, check out the new Randy Bachman: Every Guitar Tells a Story exhibition highlighting the sprawling guitar collection of one of Canada’s most celebrated players, as well as the recently revamped Canadian Music Hall of Fame honouring 2023 inductees, Nickelback.
