Paul Pigat
About the Event
Vancouver guitarist Paul Pigat is one of those rare players who can burn through rockabilly, jazz, roots, and everything in between without breaking a sweat. Blessed with a jazz man's sheen, a rockabilly heart, and restless musical curiosity, Pigat has quietly built a list of credits that would be the envy of anyone in the business — sharing stages and lending his distinctive guitar work to artists like Jeff Beck, Jakob Dylan, Brian Setzer, Albert Lee, James Burton, Neko Case, and the Reverend Horton Heat.
Much like Steve Cropper standing behind Otis Redding at Stax, Pigat has spent years creating sweet sounds for some of the best artists around without always getting the attention you'd expect. But anyone who's caught him live knows the secret is out — Pigat is a combustible, genre-defying force on the fretboard and one of the most versatile guitarists working today.

Museum of Making Music
Museum of Making Music
Founded in 1998, the Museum of Making Music explores the multifaceted history of the American music products industry from its beginnings in the 1890s to today. Housed at NAMM Headquarters in Carlsbad, California (north San Diego county), the Museum tells stories of hard work, challenge, inspiration and pioneering innovation, and reveals the profound relationship between the industry, popular music, and global culture. The Museum serves as a resource for the community of NAMM members through the preservation, interpretation and sharing of the industry’s collective history in a public museum context. In addition, it reveals the unique and often unknown story of the music products industry to the general public. Through intimate concerts, films, discussions, hands-on workshops, volunteer opportunities and programs for youth, the Museum opens doors to enable people of all ages and walks of life to find their way into the richly kaleidoscopic world of music making. Hours The Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The Museum is closed on Mondays and on major U.S. holidays, including: New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Features The Museum's Interactive Area. The interactive area is where visitors have the chance to make their own music. It includes a variety of hands-on instruments that represent both the latest innovations and lasting traditions in musical instruments. Most interactive instruments come equipped with a pair of headphones so that guests can discover instruments and play privately. Exhibitions. The Museum regularly curates special exhibitions that help tell the story of instrument innovations and the music products industry. These special exhibitions help enhance the normal display artifacts and provide glimpses at unique pieces of history. These exhibitions usually only are viewable for a limited time. Due to their temporary nature, we have taken the initiative to begin cataloging these exhibitions in greater visual (and sometimes aural) detail so that we may present them to you in the virtually limitless expanse of the internet. Admission General Admission: $10 Seniors (60+), students (4-18), & active military (w/ID): $7 Museum members & children 3 and under: Free
