Created by Ackerman in 2012, The Gathering was initially the title of a compilation album showcasing a host of cutting edge artists he was producing at the time. Proving to be wildly successful on the charts upon its release, over time the idea began to take shape and Ackerman decided to take the show on the road. A highly popular event, The Gathering blossomed into a unique performance of whom he calls the new generation of guitarists. Opening with a stellar performance by Ackerman, the evening continues on to feature three individual sets by Hall, Mosby, and Downes, culminating in an encore of all four guitarists playing together.

Rated one of the top 30 guitarists in the world under 30 years of age by Acoustic Guitar magazine, Trevor Gordon Hall is an acoustic instrumentalist from Philadelphia whose compositions range in style from edgy driving rhythms to soft melodic phrases. Hall is also a player of the Kalimbatar, the only one of its kind in the world.
Todd Mosby, considered one of the finest jazz guitarists in the world, has played symphony halls, headlined jazz festivals, performed in concert venues, clubs, charity events across the globe, and was one of the first artists invited to perform in Russia following the end of the Cold War and Perestroika.

Schooled in composition, guitar and improvisation at Berklee College of Music and live music performance with Tom Jackson Productions, Mosby delivers a live concert performance that engages audiences and takes them on a transformative musical journey. Mosbys set features songs from his vast catalogue as well as new music from his latest album release On Eagle Mountain, produced with Ackerman.
Greatly influenced by the music of artists on Windham Hill Records in the late 1980's, Vin Downes continued to pursue the art of finger-style guitar technique and composition. Earning a degree in classical guitar performance and music education from William Paterson University, Downes studied classical composition and had several of his compositions performed by soloists and ensembles, including the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble, Helix Ensemble and members of the Composers Guild of New Jersey.www.MosbyMusicGroup.com
