Pat Metheny

The beauty of music lies in its ability to evoke emotions, memories, and a profound sense of connection. On a night filled with nostalgia and revelation, Pat Metheny, one of the world's most cherished guitarists, took the stage at the Boulder Theater, offering an evening that transcended the barriers of time.

Pat Metheny has released SIDE-EYE NYC (V1.IV) today, the recording debut of his SIDE-EYE trio project featuring the 20-time GRAMMY winner accompanied by a handpicked and rotating selection of, as he puts it, “newer generation musicians who have particularly caught my interest along the way.” Throughout SIDE-EYE NYC’s eight compositions, Metheny completely reinvents his classics including “Better Days Ahead” and “Timeline” alongside brand new and characteristically genre-defying work revealed for the first time.

As is only fitting for a musician known for an extensive touring regime, Pat Metheny has announced over 100 concerts world-wide to accompany the release of his brand new album SIDE-EYE NYC V1.IV. Kicking off on September 14th in Eugene, OR, the SIDE-EYE tour will travel to every city from Seattle to Prague, Los Angeles to Orlando, Houston to Vienna and beyond. The live shows, spanning well into 2022, will feature the phenomenally talented pianist/organist/keyboardist James Francies.

As the only musician to win GRAMMYs in twelve separate categories, Pat Metheny’s passion for “seeking breathtaking new vistas” (NPR) at every turn is synonymous with his storied career - from embarking on sonic explorations in jazz, classical, rock, and country to collaborating with cross-genre legends including David Bowie, Herbie Hancock and Steve Reich. But, for Metheny, as much as obliterating the premise of genre is a way of life, so follows his natural impulse to reach across generations.
 

Pat Metheny was born in Lee's Summit, MO on August 12, 1954 into a musical family. Starting on trumpet at the age of 8, Metheny switched to guitar at age 12. By the age of 15, he was working regularly with the best jazz musicians in Kansas City, receiving valuable on-the bandstand experience at an unusually young age. Metheny first burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974.

Pat Metheny has unveiled Road To The Sun today, a new album out via BMG Modern Recordings which primarily consists of two multi-movement classical guitar works marking his debut as a chamber composer.

Pat Metheny will embark on the next chapter in his universally celebrated and endlessly inventive career on March 5, with the release of Road To The Sun - a collection of two substantial multi-movement classical suites penned by Metheny and performed by five of today's foremost classical guitarists.
