Join the Yachats community in welcoming  the Acoustic Groove Experience, Saturday Nov. 16, 2024, for a 7 pm concert at the Yachats Community Presbyterian Church.

The Acoustic Groove Experience is Michael Manring on bass guitar and  Tony Kaltenberg on guitar.

From the wild and misty Oregon coast, Tony Kaltenberg  is a powerhouse of  the mystical guitar  tradition. With roots and influences  from Fahey,  Kottke  & Hedges,  Tony  creates  a distinctive sound as a guitarist and composer. His mesmerizing percussive style has been highlighted on radio and television programs as well as performances worldwide,

Kaltenberg  has,  and continues to collaborate with a number of musicians  throughout  the world.  The sounds he coaxes from the guitar range from sweet, warm finger-styles, to deep, percussive string slaps. From long mystically musical  threads, to rhythmic explosions,  he also throws in some velvety tenor vocals,  for a variety packed concert.  "I love watching him play. He gets his whole body into it. He can come back anytime and share his wonderful gift." - Sherylin Rawlins, 'Breitenbush Retreat Center’  

Hailed by many as the world’s leading solo bassist, Michael Manring has been pushing back the boundaries of what’s possible on the bass guitar for over four decades. He has honed his skills on hundreds of recordings as a session musician and thousands of concerts throughout the world.

Manring  has garnered two Gold Records,  Grammy and Bammie nominations, a Berklee School of Music Distinguished Alumni Award and numerous Bass Player Magazine Reader's Poll Awards including 1994 Bassist of the Year.
