Phil DeGruy – Live from the PinChurch Fri Jun 6, 2025 8:30pm

We’re very excited to have one of the area’s greatest guitarists returning to the PinChurch for a very special solo performance!

About this Phil deGruy:

Visionary New Orleans native Phil deGruy has taken the bold initiative of adding 10 harp strings to a 7-string guitar to come up with his custom-made “guitarp.”

Born in New Orleans in 1955, deGruy (pronounced “degree”) took up guitar at an early age and, after being seduced by pop music, quickly gravitated towards the stylings of Chet Atkins. Soon after, the worlds of jazz, classical and beyond ensued.

Respected veteran jazz journalist Bill Milkowski called deGruy “New Orleans’ best-kept secret and a virtuoso of the highest order.” Vintage Guitar magazine said, “Phil deGruy is one of the most astounding talents to ever touch strings,” adding that he “has taken his instrument into new dimensions.”

Phil’s approach to the guitar sounds like John Coltrane meets Mel Brooks at a party for Salvador Dali. It’s uncanny the way he has conjured up such an unorthodox way to attend to virtuosity.” ~ Steve Vai
