Quote by David Geller on previous TBT concert:
"Arcamone thoughtfully watched over his quartet, directing them toward some intense sounds. He was able to use his guitar’s versatility to expand the four-piece band into somewhat of a mini-orchestra, creating woodwind and organ-like imitations and mind-bending outbursts. ...
The audience was clearly passionate about the music, with frequent ovations after solos. The quartet’s vibrant style created a radiance that engulfed the diverse crowd."

Congratulations to Rani Arbo and Dave Downs!
