Virtuoso Guitarist Plays Dive Bar

Jersey Shore-based musician Pat Guadagno will perform two shows on Friday and Saturday, June 5 and 6 at the Dive Bar on Circuit avenue in Oak Bluffs, located between the Ritz and the Lampost. The club, formerly known as the Rare Duck, has been a tour stop for Guadagno for over 15 years. “I stopped in this little club and met John Cruz, we played together, and I have been coming back every year since,” he says.

Though far from famous, Mr. Guadagno’s unique adaptations of popular songs have been featured in film and television. His live repertoire of covers runs the gamut from well-known hits to obscurities. He is also one of 16 guitarists selected from around the world to perform at the International Guitar Festival in Zihuatanejo, Mexico for three years in a row.
