Stephen Bennett - Featured Act - 5/2/26

One of the most well regarded finger-style guitarists of his generation, Stephen Bennett is also a leading exponent of the harp guitar. A challenging teacher, a gifted composer, and a performer of “great sensitivity”, the Toronto Finger-Style Guitar Association has referred to him as “the Jedi Master of Finger-style Guitar”. He won the National Flatpicking Guitar Championship in 1987 and the International Finger Style Guitar Championship in 2024. Stephen has performed around the world, shared the stage with some of the finest guitarists there are, and created a sizable body of work. His latest effort includes songs co-written with our resident poet Dave Capellaro which makes me ever grateful to have such treasures within our local community.
