Italian artist Alberto Lombardi will take the stage at The Green Room Social Club in Placerville on November 13. This performance promises a unique opportunity to experience the talent of an inventive guitarist, singer-songwriter, and producer in an intimate setting. Lombardi’s blend of acoustic fingerstyle and electric guitar showcases a world-class musician capable of captivating audiences with his artistry.
Lombardi, originally from Rome, has built a diverse career in music, working as a producer, arranger, and session guitarist before stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist. His musical repertoire spans various genres, including rock, folk, jazz, and pop. Central to his identity is the guitar, which he uses both as a lead instrument and a storyteller. Critics have lauded his expressive fingerstyle technique, noting his seamless transitions from tender acoustic melodies to bold electric solos.
His album, “Home,” highlights this balance between heartfelt songwriting and adventurous guitar textures. During his performance at The Green Room, Lombardi is expected to present acoustic arrangements of beloved Italian and international songs, such as “Volare,” along with interpretations of iconic tracks by The Beatles and David Bowie. Additionally, he will incorporate original compositions that reflect his artistic evolution, marking his transition from a behind-the-scenes musician to a prominent creative voice.
The solo performance format allows Lombardi to establish a direct and unfiltered connection with his audience. One musician, one stage, and one or two instruments create an atmosphere of intimacy that enhances the artistic experience. The Green Room Social Club is known for its attentive audiences and engineered acoustics, which further enriches the concert environment.
Lombardi’s concerts emphasize the importance of listening; the quiet moments between phrases hold as much significance as the notes themselves. The venue encourages attendees to arrive early, allowing them to immerse themselves in the sound and the performance. Located on Main Street in Placerville, The Green Room offers comfortable seating alongside a menu of cocktails and light fare, providing a boutique concert experience that stands out from larger touring shows.
For local residents, this performance presents a rare opportunity to see a European touring artist in such a close-up setting. Lombardi’s shows have been described as bridge-building events, connecting genres, continents, and musical eras. His music may originate in cities like Rome, London, or Nashville, but it resonates deeply with the audience present.
Lombardi will perform at 19:00 on Thursday, November 13, at 251 Main St., Placerville. Doors will open two hours prior to the show. Tickets and reserved seating options are available through the venue’s website, clubgreenroom.com.
