A night of virtuosic acoustic guitar and unmistakable melodies will take over Traverse City's historic City Opera House on Valentine's Day. Guitar Dreams featuring Jake Allen and Ryan David Green will be performing on Saturday, February 14, 2026, starting at 7:30pm. Tickets are $30 for general admission; $20 for students 18 & younger, seniors and military.

Jake Allen has toured globally, is endorsed by Takamine Guitars, and has shared stages with guitar legends such as Andy McKee and Mike Dawes. As a solo artist, Allen utilizes impeccably timed live looping to create a captivating one-man show, with his hypnotic command of the guitar bringing every inch of the instrument to life.

Ryan David Green has been called “a full blown shredder” by Acoustic Guitar Magazine. A graduate of Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music, his instrumental “Time Is Not What You Think It Is" was awarded 1st place in the 2024 American Songwriter Song Contest and his original compositions have received numerous film and TV placements, including shows on E!, Lifetime, and ABC Family/Freeform.

Together, performing a blend of beautiful instrumental guitar pieces and delicate vocal tunes, they’ll be taking audiences to a place both otherworldly, and somehow surprisingly intimate.
