Tony Haven is a lap-style guitarist from the UK who just released his second full-length album Sun Set to Rise. It’s always refreshing to listen to a guitarist that not only plays great music, but also does it in ways which make you wonder how exactly he’s pulling it off!

Originally known for playing spanish guitar, Kelly Valleau recently switched to steel-string for his new album “Vol. 2.” I asked Kelly about the switch as well as his teaching site String Training.
Over the last few years, Maneli Jamal has been making quite a name for himself, mostly thanks to his powerfully evocative music which is a reflection of his life. For his upcoming album The Lamaj Movement, he’s focusing on the story of his family and all the struggles and experiences thy’ve lived through.
When you first see Trevor Gordon Hall playing his kalimbatar, the idea might seem strange, perhaps even a little crazy. But it all makes sense once you listen to the wonderful music he creates with it. Trevor shares with us how the idea to stick a kalimba on a guitar came about, and drops some philosophy along the way…
