PRESS RELEASE
Carvin proudly announces its 60th Anniversary Celebration. Scheduled
for Saturday, August 12th at corporate headquarters in San Diego, CA,
the all-day event will feature factory tours, a look at vintage Carvin
gear, special performances by Carvin endorsers Bunny Brunel, Tony
Macalpine, Craig Chaquico, and others, along with meet and greet
signings by Carvin endorsers Allan Holdsworth and Steve Vai—in addition
to the performing artists. Carvin corporate management will also be
on-site and available, including company founder Lowell Kiesel.
Open to the public and scheduled to run from 10 AM through 6 PM
that day, attendees will be able to get a first-hand look at Carvin's
state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. Watching a guitar being
built or observing the precision with which a CNC router works its
magic is, simply put, amazing.
Equally impressive is the company's vintage guitars and amplifiers
collection, which will be on display in a special museum tent. Here,
attendees can get a first-hand look at products from a by-gone era and
witness the progression that has resulted in the company's cutting-edge
product arsenal of today.
And of course, it wouldn't be a musician's celebration without
music—and the 60th Anniversary Celebration is slated to be a
star-studded event. From rock to jazz and all styles between, Carvin
endorsers will be on hand—several of whom will perform. Currently,
performances are scheduled with legendary bassist Bunny Brunel and CAB,
which includes guitarist Tony Macalpine. There will also be
performances by guitarists Craig Chaquico, Steve Oliver, and Orange
County rockers Lit. In addition to the performing artists, there will
be special meet and greet sessions with Carvin endorsers Allan
Holdsworth and Steve Vai. Further, several local acts will perform,
including Off Track and Social Green.
Lowell Kiesel, who formed the venerable company in 1946, will be on
hand to mark this special event, as will other members of the Carvin
senior management team. Carson Kiesel, President of Carvin Corporation,
commented on the company's upcoming birthday, "As a family-run
business, reaching the 60 year mark is a very special occasion for us
and we're all very excited about sharing this day with the many
musicians who, over the years, have contributed to our company's
success. I look forward to meeting many of our valued customers and
hearing some inspiring musical performances."
