Exclusive Guest Performance:

Jim Tozier is an acoustic fingerstyle guitarist who performs traditional Celtic tunes and original compositions inspired by his Irish heritage and by his surroundings along the Chesapeake Bay in Southern Maryland.

He has studied with Al Petteway and El McMeen, two of the world's premier Celtic guitarists, and his tasteful playing reflects the influence of both mentors. His debut recording, Castlerea, has garnered high praise. Noted critic Art Edelstein describes Jim as "a lyrical, taste-conscious performer with considerable chops," and Guitar Nation states "Castlerea firmly establishes Jim as one of the most eloquent Celtic guitarists in the world."  

Recently listed as an "Official Artist" for the Irish hand-made line of Avalon Guitars,  Jim is also recognized as an 'Official Endorser' for both Dean Markley Strings and K&K Sound, makers of the 'Pure Western' soundboard transducer pickup. 

The producers of MonroeStock are indeed honored to present Jim Tozier in an exclusive 11:00 solo performance.  After lunch, Jim will personally host three mini 'hands-on' workshops for those wishing to improve or expand their fingerstyle technique.
