Rodrigo y Gabriela live in Saint Paul

Experience Rodrigo y Gabriela live on November 3rd

Rodrigo y Gabriela are a Mexican acoustic guitar duo renowned for their energetic and innovative instrumental compositions. Their music blends flamenco, rock, and metal influences, characterized by rapid-fire fingerpicking, percussive techniques on the guitar bodies, and complex rhythmic interplay. Originally busking on the streets of Ireland in the late 1990s, they gained international recognition through word-of-mouth and online videos before releasing their debut album in 2003. They consistently tour globally and have collaborated with artists across multiple genres.

The Fitzgerald Theater, located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, has a rich history as a performing arts venue. Originally opened in 1932 as the World Theatre, it was a prominent movie palace during its early years. In 1978, it was renamed in honor of F. Scott Fitzgerald, who was born in Saint Paul. The theater is particularly known for being the long-time home of *A Prairie Home Companion* with Garrison Keillor, hosting the radio show from 1978 to 2016.

The venue underwent significant renovations in recent years to enhance its acoustics and accessibility while preserving its art deco architectural details.
