BLACKSHAW: FINGER-PICKIN' GOOD -- British acoustic finger picking guitar sensation James Blackshaw played the Wexner Center on his first US tour well before most stateside audiences had caught onto the European acclaim for his mesmerizing, cascading approach to instrumental music. Blackshaw returns 8 p.m. June 16 at the Performance Space in conjunction with the release of his new recording The Glass Bead Game. Here his deeply meditative virtuosic 12-string guitar work continues to flourish. Vermont based trance music specialist Greg Davis will open the evening.
