PRESS RELEASE
Carvin Announces 60th Anniversary Celebration
July 07, 2006
Advertisement 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." The address for Carvin Corporation's 60th Anniversary Celebration is: Recent Carvin headlines
