March 27, 2025 @ 7:00 PM

In-Person, Online & On the Air

Trinity United Methodist’s Candlelight Concerts hosts Joe Euro, a “Classical/Neo-Classical Finger-Style” local guitarist, composer/recording artist who will be performing at Trinity United Methodist Church on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 7:00 PM for one full set with no intermission.

The performance will also be streamed live at https://trinityumcpt.org/concerts/ where you will find a link for the Candlelight Concerts Online and ways to donate. The concert will also be simulcast on KPTZ FM 91.9.

Admission to the concert is free (really!), with a suggested donation $15 per person. You are most welcome to attend whether you choose to donate or not. Half of the donation proceeds from this concert will go to Euro’s chosen charity, Bayside Housing, whose mission is to “strengthen community through housing, advocacy, and human services supporting social and economic independence.”

This Joe Euro Candlelight Concert performance will feature Acoustic, all Instrumental “Finger Style”/Neo-Classical Guitar, many using various “open tunings”and reach over/hammer-ons, and pull-offs highlighting many of Mr. Euro’s “Neo-Classical” original compositions and some actual Classical Guitar pieces, “plucked from the Classical Guitar Repertoire”, a few of Euro’s lite jazz standards arrangements and improvs,, and a few of Euro’s “Ambient Space Guitar” creations which utilize a digital reverb and a volume pedal, to draw down all that “Taj Mahal”-like reverb.

This is a sound he enjoyed developing and experimenting with when he moved to this area back in 1979 and would bring his guitar into the bunkers at Fort Flagler, where he and his wife, Katy lived and ran the Youth Hostel that was there then. Joe also was able to get into the “Cistern” at Fort Worden, which also inspired him to use this mezmerizing “Big Spacey Sound” which is now accessible with some of his “guitarsenal” of various guitars and “gizmology” as he refers to the various sound enhancement tools pedals and devices he often uses. Euro’s music has been featured on broadcasts around the world, including NPR and PRI as well as some film and video productions.

Euro’s day-job is owner/proprietor of The Wine Seller”, a retail wine/beer/bottle shop located on Water Street in downtown Port Townsend. The Wine Seller was founded by Euro in 1982 and is one of Washington State’s oldest and finest wine/bottle shops. Besides his passions for wine and music, Joe loves to travel. He has hosted and guided more than 20 European and one South American “Small Group Journeys” since 2004.

Euro’s 4 studio recordings can be streamed on most streaming audio sites such as Spotify; Pandora; AmazonMusic; Apple Music; Tidal; Rhapsody and probably more. His actual CDs are available at his shop as well. Just punch in or tell your “smart speaker” to “play Joe Euro”. That, most times will get you to his music…but if you hear some “rap” guy…different guy…try again.

Trinity United Methodist Church is located at 609 Taylor Street, across from the Community Center, in Uptown. Attendees should plan on arriving early – doors will open at 6:30. Masks are encouraged but not mandatory for in-person attendees. And Joe is hoping to see a lot of you actually there for this LIVE concert!
