Special Bonus! An Exclusive Performance of Two Works for Moog Guitar by Carlos Alomar Carlos’ angular riffs, solid grooves, and shimmering chords propelled David Bowie’s rhythm section from the cool funk of Young Americans to the rock/R&B hybrid of Station to Station to experimental pop works such as Low and Lodger and beyond. A former president of the New York Chapter of The Recording Academy, Carlos also contributed to the Scissor Sisters Ta-Dah album. Tonight, he has prepared two short pieces to demonstrate the creative possibilities of the new Moog Guitar—an instrument that can either add endless sustain to guitar strings, or kill sustain entirely to sound very banjoor koto-esque. The experience should be eerie, beautiful, and awe-inspiring, so fasten your seat belts, gang! Meet The Judges ELLIOT EASTON As a member of the Cars (1976-1988), Elliot’s multifaceted stylistic focus and enthusiasm for the experimental produced some of rock’s most ear-catching, genre-bending solos. Since then, Elliot has performed with Creedence Clearwater Revisited and the New Cars, and he co-designed the Gibson Inspired By Elliot Easton SG and the Martin HD Elliot Easton Custom Artist Edition. This is Elliot’s second year as a Guitar Superstar judge.
