*****************************************The NYC Fretless Guitar Festival was created in 2005 to celebrate two things; the release of the definitive fretless guitar double CD “Village Of The Unfretted†(Unfretted Records), and to also develop this unique fretless guitar festival into an annual event with the long term goal of promoting the artists and instrument makers of the fretless guitar. The concept of the event was very similar to the La Nuit de la Fretless Festival held in Mende, France in 1999 and 2001. The original NYC FretLess Guitar festival was held on September 10-12, 2005 in New York City at the famed Knitting Factory with one night in Brooklyn at iO Restuarant and Lounge. This event featured many of the top Artists from around the World including Franck Vigroux, Yan Vagh, Elliot Sharp, Ed DeGenaro, Ratko Zjaca, Michael ATONAL Vick and more. The shockwave this festival and CD sent out was completely responsible for much of the current press around the World about the fretless guitar. All of a sudden, multiple articles were being written about the fretless guitar in magazines around the World including Guitar Player, Guitar World, La Guitare and Guitar Classique, and each of these articles sited the NYC Festival and the "Village Of The UnFretted" CD as a components in opening everyones ears to the true potential of the fretless guitar.*****************************************************
