Influences
Songwriters:
I love Steve's song writing and his earthy vocals. He also incorporates a great mix of roots & modern sounds into his music.
John is just a great songwriter. It's been said that he could sing the phone book and make it sound good.
Probably one of the best "unknown" songwriters around today. Greg has been at it for 30 years and has a huge catalog of thoughtful songs.
Guitarists:
Without Robert Johnson there wouldn't be Rock 'n' roll. Not my words - just ask Eric Clapton & Keith Richards.
AYH is a contemporary black bluesman who captures the spirit of the old guys. Plays both acoustic & electric.
He's the man! As a solo acoustic flatpicking guitarist there's simply none better. Not a bad songwriter also!
Re-defined Bluegrass guitar. Inventive, tasteful, outrageous.
The Bluesmen:
Essential listening from the masters.
