Ep. 6: Lloyd Baggs
Acoustic Voices: A Guitar Podcast
These days, Lloyd Baggs is synonymous with great acoustic guitar pickup systems. But it didn't come easy. This self-taught tinkerer only turned to sound amplification after an eye-opening experience with Ry Cooder. During our chat, Baggs recounts the ups-and-downs of perfecting pickups, the importance of a pre-amp for gigging musicians, his work for various brands (including Breedlove) and describes how he's returned to his first love... building acoustics.

Ingenuity. We love it in our guitars and in our musicians. For this episode, we talk to a pair of artists who may not be on your radar yet, but will be soon: the Native Heart's Jon Torrance is a fanatical music educator and musician based in Michigan. He relishes the new, whether it's genres, covers, or skills like video editing. We then check in with Santa Barbara, California singer-songwriter Conner Cherland, a young artist with a knack for writing songs... a lot of songs.

Ep. 2: Guitarist Chris Arndt (Jocelyn and Chris)
Acoustic Voices: A Guitar Podcast
Guitarist Chris Arndt is a throwback of sorts: An early obsession with classic rock had him sitting in with bar bands while he was still in elementary school. Today, he's one-half of the brother-sister duo, Jocelyn and Chris. With a few stellar albums already under their belt, they're navigating the music industry in a thoroughly unique way.
