StoneMtn Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I've been offered to see this guitarist tonight for free. It sounds like pretty standard flamenco guitar. He's from Toronto, with Greek roots, and I guess he's somewhat known world-wide, although I'd never heard of him before.I think I'll probably go.Any knowledge of or opinions on this guy?

bradm Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I think he draws influences from more than just flamenco, and, for free, yeah, I'd probably go. I saw him profiled on one of Bravo's weekly Arts & Minds programs, and he's got chops, and should put on a good show.http://www.pavlo.net/Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairySari Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Pavlo used to do in-store performances at the Indigo at Bay/Bloor fairly regularly. He probably still does. That store carries his CD's if you're interested in listening to his music beforehand (you don't have to buy one, but you can listen to it there). I think your assuming it's pretty standard stuff is probably accurate. I never heard anything that really stood out for me. He kind of looks like Enrique Iglesias, but not as attractive. Hey, it's free, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Alright. Those are some helpful comments. Thanks.I actually already listened to some songs on pavlo.net, and watched an interview promising belly dancers and salsa dancers tonight, before I posted. His instrumental tunes are quite good, but the songs with vocals that I've heard weren't so much to my liking.I'm going. 9th row floors. I'm sure I'll be glad I went.

bradm Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 On the Bravo piece I saw, he talked about his vocal tunes, and how he hadn't thought of himself as a singer, but he wrote a song with lyrics, and his manager (I think) wanted him to play it, so he just did it solo with guitar, and sang it, and his manager was floored.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/\/illy Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Friends of mine saw him perform in Hamilton last year and were so impressed that they bought his CD and waited around to get it autographed to give to me. A really nice thought. I think I listened to it and thought, "Meh." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I too saw the Bravo! Arts & Minds program and was impressed with Pavlo's chops and creativity. Have fun tonight Corey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
