Timucua Arts Foundation’s big, monthlong International Guitar Festival is in full swing right now, bringing in a well-curated parade of players from all over the world. But among a field stocked with classical masters, Orlando’s own string prodigy Scout is a fresh jolt of fusion with staggering range.
His repertoire covers classical, experimental, indie, country, blues, cinema scores, jazz and soul. And his instrumental arsenal can include 20-string harp guitar, resophonic, electric, acoustic, pedal steel, gourd banjo and more. So take that, Yngwie. With a wingspan like this, Scout is a guitar sherpa who’ll lead you across not simply genres but worlds.
Opening hot: local jazz-manouche revivalists Cigano Swing.
7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8, Timucua Arts Foundation, $30.
