Seen in the Walker’s Garden Cafe Wednesday, August 7: Fresh off Tuesday night’s concert by The National at Roy Wilkins Auditorium, the band’s guitarist, Bryce Dessner, stopped by to say hi to Philip Bither, the Walker’s senior curator of performing arts. It wasn’t Dessner’s first trip to the Walker, though: the Yale-trained classical guitarist and composer was here in 2004, playing with minimalist composer Michael Gordon.
