A pitch perfect blend of music, comedy and characters. 1 performer becomes 6 different guitar players each with their own voice, views and music (Blues, Jazz, Rock, Classical, Folk and Country). Each character shares their humorous and heartfelt songs and stories as the show reveals how music brings us all together. Since the show’s premiere in 2010 6 Guitars has earned numerous awards, rave reviews and standing ovations all over North America. It has relentlessly sold out houses in every festival it has appeared in and won Pick of the Fringe for both Edmonton and Vancouver. It is also one of the top 5 highest grossing acts in the history of the Winnipeg Fringe Festival where it sold almost 3000 tickets in 12 days.
"Hilarious, charming and at times surprisingly poignant, 6 Guitars is a show so good, you'll want to see it again and again."
“5 stars, Chase Padgett's 6 Guitars is nothing short a storytelling masterpiece. The play will leave you doing two things: laughing until you cry, and lifting your jaw to its proper position.” – The Edmonton Sun.

=0D=0A=Opening Act: The Lion, The Bear, The Fox Band
=0D=0A=The Lion, The Bear, The Fox Band took over 30 years to find each other, but it only took 30 days for Christopher Arruda (the lion), Cory Woodward (the bear) and Ryan McMahon (the fox) to realize they were meant to join their voices as one. And grow it has – in the last year since the band’s inaugural show, The Lion The Bear The fox have set Western Canada on fire.After securing a top 20 position in 102.7 The Peak’s prestigious “Peak Performance Project”, the band released their debut EP “We’d Be Good Men” on October 8th, 2013 and went on to celebrate the effort in numerous sold-out venues across BC and Alberta. The self-produced record is steeped in character with performances captured in bedrooms, hallways, board rooms and open-spaces across British Columbia. By experimenting with sounds freely and building the sonic landscape from the ground up, “We’d Be Good Men” succeeds in showcasing a genuine energy and sincerity rarely heard this side of the 2000's.
