Join us for a day of creativity, inspiration, and sound as the Laramie County Library welcomes Sean McGowan, an award-winning guitarist, composer, and educator, for two special events on Saturday, November 15 in the Cottonwood Room.
First, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., McGowan will lead The Holistic Guitarist workshop – an inclusive session designed for players of all levels and styles. Whether you’re strumming your first chords or perfecting your performance technique, this workshop will teach you strategies to promote physical wellness and prevent playing-related injuries. McGowan will guide participants through stretching exercises, postural awareness, and practice organization tips that help make playing more enjoyable and sustainable.
Later that evening, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., settle in for an unforgettable solo recital featuring McGowan’s expressive interpretations of jazz standards, Great American Songbook favorites, and traditional Irish and Manx tunes, alongside his own acoustic compositions.
Known for his warm tone, improvisational style, and dedication to holistic musicianship, McGowan combines artistry and awareness in every performance. Whether you’re a guitarist looking to grow your practice or simply a lover of live music, this day of events offers something truly special.
Both programs are free and open to the public.
