New Album–Acoustic Guitars are DONE

Featured

It was a long and arduous journey of acoustic guitar sessions.  All I can say is that I have never played as much acoustic guitar with as few shows in the span of 6 months as I have done here. We didn’t finish-finish until we did a little cleanup session in early January 2013.  One thing is for sure this album is going to have a healthy selection of bonus tracks.  There is also a good balance of solo acoustic tracks on this one as well.  Now its over to lead guitars…

Welcome!
