20-time GRAMMY Award-winning guitarist & composer Pat Metheny performs his new album MoonDial, featuring personal and fan favourites from his near 50-year career.

Due to popular demand resulting in a sold out show, a second date has been added for this show.

With a catalogue of 50-plus records, Pat Metheny brings us his solo show, which includes music from his forthcoming solo album MoonDial, recorded on baritone guitar without overdubs. Solo work has provided Metheny opportunity to continually come up with different angles and ways of thinking about music.

New Chautauqua (1979) almost single-handedly defined an era of instrumental steel-stringed Americana that spawned legions of imitators.

The Orchestrion Project – for which Metheny wrote the music and built a series of instruments to be controlled by his guitar, was so new in conception and execution that even over a decade later, it stands apart from any previous ideas of what a solo performer might achieve on stage.
