Pillsbury Wine Company is the evolution of a Dream-Come-True project by New Zealand Film Director Sam Pillsbury. His intuition for finding an excellent high altitude growing location in Arizona has rewarded him with the “Best Local Winemaker” distinction for the past four years from Phoenix Magazine. The Wine Spectator called him one of the “Rising Stars of the Southwest”, and Jancis Robinson in her new book American Wine wrote that he makes “some of Arizona’s finest wines.”

Visionary guitarists William Eaton, Anthony Mazzella, and Fitzhugh Jenkins join forces as the Electric Harp Guitar Group (EHGG) to perform on their unique electric harp guitars, acoustic guitars, and synthesizer guitars in a special live concert at Old Town Center for the Arts.

A local phenomenon with international experience EHGG combines individual virtuosity with ensemble sensibility to create instrumental compositions, drawn from transcendental world, jazz, rock and new age genres.


The trio initially formed some years ago when luthier William Eaton designed his proto-type electric harp guitar.  A long time fan of Anthony Mazzella and Fitzhugh Jenkins, Eaton invited them to try out the new instrument and to join and create the Electric Harp Guitar Group. After several months of rehearsal the trio spent time at Wisdom Tree Studios in Sedona to record their self-titled Electric Harp Guitar Group album which was honored the following year as one of the Top 25 Essential CD’s by Echoes, an internationally syndicated radio program.

Each musician brings diverse talent and creative technique to this one night only concert. Anthony Mazzella is recognized as one of the most innovative and technically proficient guitar players in the world, and was voted as “one of the top ten guitarists in the U.S.” by Guitar One magazine.  Anthony performed his solo album Ritual to a sold out audience at OTCA in December.

Fitzhugh Jenkins has become renowned for his versatility on acoustic, classical, electric and bass guitars and his performing and recording career has taken him around the United States, Europe, India, Canada, and Hawaii. 

William Eaton is acknowledged as one of the world’s great designers and builders of unique guitars and stringed instruments. He is a four-time GRAMMY nominee, NAMMY winner, and long time recording artist for Canyon Records.  Eaton is also the current director of the longest running guitar making school in North America, Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery, a school he co-founded in 1975 with John Roberts and Bob Venn.

Come to this special concert at Old Town Center for the Arts, and listen to the trio’s innovative compositions, classic tunes from the British Isles, and a bit of humor mixed in, from the EHGG men, “goo goo ga jube.”
