I'll be talking about how I helped develop the Sonnet with the folks at Blackstar Amplification, taking questions from the audience on anything from gear to songwriting to football as well as performing some of my songs in an…

Live music coming back has felt like a miracle. I feel like an actual physical person. I think we're made real by connecting with others. So I'm taking to the road again in my homeland. Please come, I'll make a…

Incredibly emotional watching this. To have been on this adventure with my childhood dream guitar company, to design a guitar perfect for my style of playing... I do not deserve it.
