Guitarist Jake Eddy joins us this week for a lively conversation about bluegrass, guitars, social media and more.
Jake was one of the big discoveries for many attending the 2022 Fretboard Summit at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk. During this week’s talk, we talk about his bluegrass roots in West Virginia (including his early gigs as a banjo player alongside his grandfather), his recent gigs with Andy Statman, why he hates being viewed as an internet guitarist, and why he recently a Yamaha artist was contracted as such. It’s a great conversation.
SEATTLE: The Fretboard Journal presents Jake Eddy this Saturday, January 7 at 6:00 p.m. at Seattle’s Rabbit Box Theater at Pike Place Market. Admission is free, but make a donation to Jake!
