Not only are acoustic performances different, thev are also very success ful, which is the reason the museum is presenting this second concert. "It started last fall with an outside concert," said Deanna Kerrigan, as[ sistant director of McKissick Museum. "It was successful so we did an indoor acoustic concert to showcase the tremendous talent here in Columbia. We had over 100 people for the first show. We had people asking | when we were going to do another one." I The artists performing at . "McKissick Unplugged 2" are well I known to Columbia audiences, one is even a "McKissick Unplugged" veteran. . "Bryan Wade has done work with us before," Kerrigan said. "He did such a great job, we wanted to bring I him back. They are going to record him hopefully for a tape. Treadmill Acoustic I heard at Rockafella's, and | they had such a wonderful sound, I 1 wanted to bring them." Although all the performers will be playing acoustic music, each one has a different style, and they all have something different to offer. "The music is pretty accessible,* Kerrigan said. "Bryan has a real emo| tional, folksy, bluesy kind of music He's a wonderful lyric writer. Treadmill Acoustic has the combination be tween the guitar and the cello, anc that is a wonderful combination.1 Angelo Gianni, guitarist for Tread mill Acoustic, has been Dlaving acoustii _ guitar since high school. He said then is only a slight variation betweer _ acoustic and electric guitar. "It's basically the same," Giann said.
