I'm fortunate to have built both Jason and Nadia guitars. A fantastic duet, they're around, look for them at a festival near you!
Keri Latimer of Leaf Rapids
Keri is awesome. I built a CS electric style guitar body then she painted her perspective of a Van Gogh on it. Then I finished the guitar. Check out Leaf Rapids when you can. She is a terribly talented singer and songwriter, artist, quilter, creator of good things.
Del Barber
I built Del an OM-28 a few years back. It's good to have a smaller guitar kicking around the house for writing. He also has a Hamm-tone J200 style guitar, a J-45 Gibson, and many other fine left handed instruments!
Michael P Falk(Les Jupes)
Mike is the frontman for Les Jupes. They are absolutely wicked. You must try to see them. They're everywhere.
Simon Davis
This guy is one son of a gun of a guitar player. He's a fine flatpicker and yet also manages to leave the Bluegrass genre when he feels like it and seems to be quite at home on his Hamm-tone tele. He is a genuine country music playing truck driving man.
Dwayne Dueck
Dwayne is quite the guy. He's one of the most popular old-school country dudes in the province. He used to be Big Dave McClean's guitar slinger, a member of the Rowdymen and well known and appreciated. He too, plays a Hamm-tone. It's a 13 fret dreadnought.
Ken Kansas
Look for Ken Kansas. He sings, writes, fishes, plays and lets us know that there is a different way of doing it. In addition to being a musicin, he's also a scientist. He's responsible for aerating a large number of Manitoba lakes and reintroducing native fish species back to their natural habitat. Important guy here.
