Back in 2015 singer songwriter Christopher Paul Stelling made quite an impression with his performance at the festival so did his guitar. All broken and busted but with a wonderful sound. Since 2023 I lost track of him after an impressive tour record and collabs with great artist. As far as I know he made 8 albums.

The Allen family. They are still using my portrait on the socials. This is a really ol’timey portrait. Check Geary Allan’s latest projects. The Burnette sisters band and his latest Geary &John. Still remembering their first backstage mini manouche jazz sessions. A great guitar player. Pater familias is a legend leather craftsman.

Another oldie but goldie 2016 Chance McCoy. Probably you know him as a member from the Old crow Medicine show. Check his latest Appalachian tunes online. Don’t know why I never posted this one, I’m a big fan since his first solo album.

Frank Fairfield some years ago at the I wasn’t able to portraying him before my backdrop and I still regret it. I did take his portrait only with the wrong background. With some digital magic, here’s Frank. One of my favorite artists should be included.
