Allan Holdsworth is one of the 20th century’s most prominent guitarists. He is one of a handful of musicians who has consistently proven himself as an innovator in between and within the worlds of rock and jazz music. Despite the uncompromising nature of Holdsworth’s predominantly genre-defying solo projects, he’s no stranger to all-star jazz festival line-ups or large venue rock audiences. Musician Magazine placed Holdsworth in the top 10 of their 100 greatest guitarists of all time. An inductee of Guitar Player Magazine’s Hall of Fame, Holdsworth is a five-time winner in their readers’ poll. He’s a complete musician revered by peers including Pat Metheny and John McLaughlin. Holdsworth has always been a much sought-after guitarist, but it was with the release his own albums that the depth of his personal language – and a conception for the guitar as an instrument that breathes with a voice-like expressiveness – became crystal clear.
SOLO DISCOGRAPHY includes, but is not limited to:
1983 EP Road Games
1985 Metal Fatigue
1989 Secrets
1993 Wardenclyffe Tower
1994 Hard Hat Area
2000 The Sixteen Men of Tain
new album in planning to be released in 2012….

Amazing fusion guitarist Allan Holdsworth last played Gillys Saturday October 2nd 2010 w/ Ernest Tibbs & Chad Wackerman
Also played Gilly’s Sat May 9th 2009.
Does anyone know the age requirements for Gilly’s? I teach guitar lessons in Cincinnati, and one of my students who is only 20 is really into Holsdworth and wants to attend this show. I tried to call the club, buy I just get a recording.
Thanks,
Lou
Sorry for the very slow response, but I’ve asked Jerry Gillotti the same question, and all ages are welcome. Age only comes into play when ordering drinks. Sorry I didn’t check comments in time to answer for the Holdsworth show. Hope he was able to attend.
Do I understand correctly that my minor son can attend shows with me? He’s 14 and I’ve taken him to several blues festival and he loves the music and the people. If he could attend with me that would be great. Neither of use drink alcohol, I’m only asking about him being allowed to attend with me, his father.
Yes, Jerry. I asked this question when a friend was thinking of taking their teen daughter to a jazz show. It’s not a problem.

Thank you JazzyLee.

Can I bring my still camera for non flash photography?
“Lee;
tell them yes they can bring their camera, not sure about flash, but probably OK.
Thanks;
Jerry”
I want to know if I can bring my 17 years old son (who is a guitar student) to Allan’s concert on October the 2nd.
And if I can bring my video camera (without lights).
Thanks for your time
Age is no problem. I’ve never seen an objection to subtle use of cameras, but ultimately I suppose it would be up to the artist.
Does the Half Price Books by the Dayton Mall have tickets too?
Sue: Here is the answer from Jerry:
Lee;
1/2 price by the dayton mall moved to their present location.
tell them that there will be tickets at the door. Or to call the club today, since I have the phone on call forwarding, and can hold them in their name. 937-228-8414
I will answer the phone until 5:30pm.
Or they can give you the name, and I will hold them, in their name after you send it to me.
Sorry for all the bother.
Jerry
The was an amazing show! THANK YOU Jerry for continuing to bring this kind of music and artist to Dayton!
