Guitarist to perform at VCSU

Michael Whisler of Valley City will perform in Froemke Auditorium on the campus of Valley City State University at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29. Adult admission charge is $5, with VCSU staff, students and children admitted free. Whisler’s CDs will be for sale following the performance.

Whisler is an acoustic finger-style guitarist and songwriter. He composes for 12- and 6-string guitars while drawing from American folk, blue, and classical music. His tunes range from fast-paced instrumentals to slower ballads and dissonant free-time melodies. He also blends a bottleneck tone to some of his compositions which utilize alternate tunings.

Although Whisler is mainly a solo guitarist, he does some singing.
