Experience Bill Frisell live on July 19th

Bill Frisell, a highly acclaimed American guitarist, is scheduled to perform in Agrigento, Italy on July 19, 2026. Frisell’s music defies easy categorization, blending elements of jazz, country, folk, rock, and classical music. Characterized by atmospheric textures, lyrical improvisation, and a distinctive use of effects, his work often evokes a sense of Americana and cinematic storytelling. He frequently incorporates looping and delay into his performances creating rich soundscapes. Throughout his career he has collaborated with a diverse range of artists including Elvis Costello, Rickie Lee Jones and Paul Motian.

Agrigento itself holds significant historical importance. Located on the southern coast of Sicily, it was one of the most important Greek cities in Magna Graecia – ancient Greece’s settlements in Southern Italy – known then as Akragas. The Valley of the Temples (Valle dei Templi), a UNESCO World Heritage site situated near the modern city, is a remarkably well-preserved complex of Doric temples dating back to the 5th century BC. These structures are testament to the city’s prosperity and cultural influence during antiquity.
