Our players are:
Brooks Williams
From Northampton, MA. Hailed as "an acoustic guitar god" whose playing is "electrifying," "dazzling," and "breathtaking" Brooks style is rooted in blues, and finds full flower with elements of jazz, classical and folk.
Dakota Dave Hull
From Minneapolis. He has received accolades from many, including Dave Van Ronk and Doc Watson. Hes known for his fleet and playful renditions of jazz, ragtime, folk, blues, Western swing, and vintage pop.
Ken Bonfield
From Massachusetts. Ken is a contemporary composer who uses Celtic nuances to express awe, bluegrass to express joy, rock and blues to create tension and humor, and classical to create depth and melancholy.
The only common denominator is the guitar itself.
