FutureFret: Episode One

FutureFret | Episode One

Saturday, May 14th Vernon Reid and Chris Buono debut FutureFret - a collective of panel discussions, masterclasses and live performances centered on forward-thinking concepts for the modern guitarist. 

The day starts with an introspective panel featuring genre-bending guitarists Oz Noy, Avi Bortnick and the legendary David Torn. The panel will discuss and field questions about the gear and technology they use to shape their sound. Additionally, selected FutureFret artists will present exclusive deep-dive masterclasses. Later that night FutureFret will host a star-stuffed jam session backed by a monster rhythm section. Attendees will experience exclusive free-form collaborations. 

This all takes place in Asbury Park as part of Commotion by the Ocean, presented by the NJ Music Expo. The panel and masterclasses take place at the Berkeley Carteret followed by the FutureFret Jam Session at Wonder Bar.

FutureFret is presented in association with ElmThree Productions.
