It wasn’t long before he became completely enamored with acoustic guitar music. He was introduced to artists like David Wilcox, Billy McLaughlin and Michael Hedges. Seeing and hearing the way these artists played completely changed his perception of what was possible with just a singular acoustic guitar.
