Ep. 6: Lloyd Baggs 08/20/2021

Ep. 6: Lloyd Baggs 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. /episode/index/show/acousticvoices/id/20208842

Ep. 4: Artists to Watch: The Native Heart & Conner Cherland 06/03/2021

Ep. 4: Artists to Watch: The Native Heart & Conner Cherland 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. /episode/index/show/acousticvoices/id/19347602

Ep. 2: Guitarist Chris Arndt (Jocelyn and Chris) 03/16/2021

Ep. 2: Guitarist Chris Arndt (Jocelyn and Chris) 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. /episode/index/show/acousticvoices/id/18349466
