Andy McKee has been at the forefront of solo fingerstyle acoustic guitar since the YouTube revolution, and his first new studio effort in nearly a decade, Symbol, is a top-shelf tribute to his heroes including Prince and Michael Hedges.
To catch up on McKee, read his Frets feature from the November 2021 issue here.
Yasmin Williams is a new kind of acoustic hero. After mastering Guitar Hero 2 as a youngster, she transferred her finger dexterity into an extraordinary lap-style tapping technique.
We'll have free copies of the January issue with her Frets feature on site. Get the lowdown ahead of time by checking out the Williams interview here.
Make sure to arrive in plenty of time to catch Williams’ set.
Heads up: the Freight & Salvage requires masks at all times as well as proof of vaccination.
