Be A Part Of The Next
Supertonic Guitar - Summer Gig
6pm August 5, 2023
In January 2016 we held our first ever student concert and it was a blast! The theater was so packed we had to keep finding new places to put people. Everyone who played had rapid progress in their guitar playing. It was awesome to watch all their hard work pay off with excellent performances. Every year since the seats are packed. It is full of fun and life changing experiences.Â
In February 2020 (our last live event before lockdowns) we sold out a 200+ person venue typically reserved for touring artists. 24 performers with a full band. A highlight of the year for all of us.

Henry FordOne of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.
DO NOT let fear hold you back!
This concert is all about having fun and growing as musicians. Everyone who performs will feel fear even if they don’t admit it. Those who perform in spite of fear will conquer that fear, grow in their skills, and develop confidence as a player. Those who do not perform will see others performing and wish they were the ones on stage performing. Even if you do not want to be a performer, this is a great opportunity to become a much better guitar player. You will find a whole new level of focus in your guitar playing and practice you didn’t even know you had. Ask anyone who did play at the events. They will tell you it was exciting, a little terrifying, super motivating, and totally worth it!
Performing is like an athlete training for the big game and actually being in the starting lineup. Athletes don’t train to sit in the stands.

Taylor SwiftIn my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.
