   About Renzo Staiano
Renzo Staiano performs professionally on six and eight string acoustic and electric guitars, Cuban tres, Andean charango, and other Latin American guitars. His career as a performer and scholar has taken him to all five continents, including extended residences in Spain, Mexico and Peru, which has greatly enriched his playing and musical knowledge. Renzo studied the classical guitar and Latin American guitar with the acclaimed Turkish guitarist Mesut Özgen and world-renowned Agustin Barrios scholar and performer Rico Stover. Renzo also possesses profound knowledge of jazz, blues, Latin American, and other popular music styles. For the past three years, Renzo has often performed as a soloist; he completed a new solo album, El Ocho vol. 1, in July 2008. Also in 2008, he appeared on stage with various orchestras for works such as Joel Ford’s jazz/funk/blues/reggae opera, The Cannabis Cantata; Phil Collin’s Helen of Egypt; and Kurt Weil’s Three Penny Opera (with the Santa Cruz Chamber Orchestra). Renzo has performed with many accomplished musicians, including members of: Peru Negro, Acoustic Alchemy, Dethklok, The Santa Cruz Chamber Orchestra, DJ Logic, The Dodos, Savoy Brown, The Doobie Brothers, RadioActive, Michael Franti (Spearhead), and Santana.

Hello,
There will be a concert at Giovane's in North Salinas on Mai 9, 2009. Giovane's address is 348 San Juan Grade Rd, Salinas Ca. 93906. It will be from 7:00 to 10:30p.m. We have Trusting Lucy playing a set first, then we will play a set, then Dennis Murphy's Band (Grammy nominated bassist from Acoustic Alchemy) will end the evening and conduct the raffle. We are raffling off a Daisy Rock Heartbreaker Guitar (the older 3's endorser), and other items from Wise Music and Mario De La Cruz Drumsticks and Cymbals, and free dinner tickets from Giovane's. It will be a family environment and kids are welcome. Please let us know if you can come at wendy@gritsworld.com (and please add to confirm any guests that you'll bring) because the invite list has to be kept updated (Giovane's is a quaint restaurant that only fits about 250 people packed) and we want to make sure everyone we invite gets in before the public arrives! It should turn out to be a fun time and a great show with great family, friends, food and wine for the adults!
