Jake Doan is a professional Salt Lake City skier best known for his park and backcountry ski segments, where he turns the mountains into his personal playground. But Doan also happens to be a mad guitarist and a member of Pickpockets, a Newgrass band from Utah.
He recently did a short ski film called. released Parallels where he combined his passions for skiing and making music: not only did he ski in the film, he also appeared and recorded the soundtrack. On this week’s Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk to Doan about his bluegrass roots, the Collings OM he just recorded, the art of making and editing an action sports film, and more. It’s a fun chat with another guitar freak.
