Guitarist John Jorgenson, who has worked with the likes of Elton John, Luciano Pavarotti, Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan, has been nominated as "Featured Artist of The Year" in the 2016 Vintage Guitar Reader’s Choice Awards.

Every year, Vintage Guitar magazine honors those who inspired and awed guitar players, fans, and listeners by inducting great players, innovators, and instruments to the VG Hall of Fame. Also chosen in the Vintage Guitar honors are "Album of the Year", "Featured Artist of the Year", and "Player of the Year" in four categories. Nominations are solicited from editorial contributors and visitors to VintageGuitar.com, then a list of finalists is compiled with input from VG staff.

John Jorgenson's limited edition 3-CD box set, Divertuoso, mixed one of his current passions (gypsy jazz) with an old one (bluegrass) along with electric guitar skills that fans of the Hellecasters and Desert Rose Band enjoy. With John Jorgenson Quintet, John offers true-to-form gypsy jazz using authentic instruments including a ’42 Selmer, a Gitane, an Altamira, his vintage Gibson K-4 mandocello, a Gibson F-5L, flamenco guitar, and a bouzouki. Please take a minute and vote for John Jorgenson! Deadline for voting is November 12, 2016.
