Band Members: People who have learned the art of tuned wood. Bass players with an acoustic bass. Singers, string players, and percussionists bent on doing great things.
Sounds Like: "A San Francisco original, their name says it all. They also play drums, sing and fill the stage with a presence rarely duplicated." - www.SFstation.com
"At first glance, the 50 Guitar Orchestra sounds like a potentially horrific nightmare. Sure enough, their Web site (featuring a photo of all fifty smiling members) posits: "Are you ready for us?" Instead, the orchestra resembles a college co-op jam band: happy-feeling singer-songwriter acoustic pop, with a healthy stable of backup singers." - East Bay Express
Review of the 50GO's first ever show, at the Fillmore:
"The walls come tumbling down with a 50-guitar army for the blockbuster finale. Fifty folks of all shapes, sizes and playing ability take the stage, and let it all hang out for the evening's most inspired moment. It may have taken the entire night to get to it, but if this night was about Pride, then the Gun & Doll Show with their 50 Guitar Orchestra brought it home with one silly, beautiful gesture." - John O'Neill, SF Bay Guardian
