Giuseppe "Peppino" D'Agostino is an Italian-American guitarist. His first two albums, Bluerba and Silk and Steel were recorded in Italy. D'Agostino moved to America in 1985. Starting out by performing in the streets and on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, he graduated to playing in restaurants then clubs, and finally, concert halls and festivals after a fellow musician introduced D’Agostino to a booking agent. He made his American recording debut in 1987 with Acoustic Spirit on Shanachie Records.
