Louisiana Red Hot Records presents guitar virtuoso & singer-songwriter Dave Isaacs in concert at Borders Books & Music, 100 Dogwood Blvd. Flowood, 919-0462. Tues., Feb. 22, 7-9 PM, free.

Louisiana Red Hot Records recording artist Dave Isaacs will perform a string of tour dates across the mid-South this February in support of his latest release Flying. The NYC-based guitar virtuoso and singer-songwriter has earned accolades from music writers and radio professionals in Americana, blues, country and jazz, displaying songwriting and musicianship skills that reach past genre boundaries into a rich and deeply personal musical style. 20th Century Guitar magazine wrote, "few guitarists gigging today are as adept at merging classical guitar technique with the cutting edge frontiers of instrumental rock-jazz" while The Critical Review simply calls Isaacs "a master of instrumental guitar.....a prodigy of sorts." A semi-finalist in the 2003 Mountain Stage NewSong competition, Isaacs has drawn equally high praise for his songwriting; music director Dave Stratton at WQBR in State College, PA called his work "a breath of fresh air in a cynical world....[Dave] writes songs we wish we all could, about the universals that affect us all."
