This concert is the culmination of the Twenty Year Anniversary celebration of Jim Holler’s guitar building career. “ What a great way to celebrate the guitars I have built with this collaboration between Trinity Guitars, Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, and the School of Music in Fredonia. With five guitars in performance and six guitars on display this event will span my complete career from the first guitar to the newest one off the work bench”, says Jim Holler.
