​Scottish Guitarist To Perform On Stage At Newtown Theatre

NEWTOWN, PA — The historic Newtown Theatre will welcome Scottish guitarist and singer Ali Tod to its stage on Thursday, August 28 at 8 p.m.

Ali blends modern percussive fingerstyle guitar techniques with classical training and loop-pedal mastery to create a live acoustic experience that gets hands clapping, hips shaking and feet stomping. If Rodrigo y Gabriela and KT Tunstall combined to make a one-woman show, it would be Ali Tod.

Ali has performed with her idols, Grammy award-winning musicians Rodrigo y Gabriela, after the Mexican guitar duo discovered her covers of their songs on social media. She has also performed with Brandi Carlile five times, world-renowned bass player Nathan East, Grammy award-winning musician Daniel Ho, and thrash-metal legend and Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick. Ali also supported world-renowned fingerstyle guitarist and winner of “World's Best Acoustic Guitarist 2020” Jon Gomm on the Scottish date of his UK tour.

Ali’s list of performances is long and includes the Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival, Ards International Guitar Festival, Belfast Guitar Festival, London Guitar Night, Manchester Guitar Night, Edinburgh Guitar and Music Festival, Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Aberdeen Jazz Festival.
