A HUGE THANKS to the incredible Captain Sikkema and crew (including Fiji) of the Sail Grace Bailey! From navigating the waters of Penobscot Bay with complete skill and safety on top of being the ultimate hosts!

While meeting with Kim Sherman of Carter Vintage Guitars, she set me up in her office and started handing me some guitars to try. I walked out with my 2ndCollings OM! If you haven't been to Carter's yet, put it at the top of your bucket list.

On a recent trip to Nashville I had the pleasure of meeting with Kim Sherman of Carter Vintage Guitars. She is selling some of my prized guitars that I haven’t played in a while. Can't keep them all folks! If in the market for a "new to you" guitar go check them out!!!

Had a productive session today with our publicist and dear friend, Clif Doyal with CDA Nashville! ​Always inspiring to sit down, share big ideas, and map out what’s next with someone who brings so much passion and heart to the table.

A butterfly in boots, a mountain girl who conquered the world, and a heart so big it wrapped around generations. Dolly Parton’s legacy is as timeless as her songs. She gave us unmatched lyrics, endless generosity, and a spirit of pure unfiltered joy.

We will always love you Dolly 🦋✨🤍

A little delay can’t stop the music! Found a quiet spot here at Denver International Airport to get some guitar time in while we wait. Turning travel downtime into studio time!

Where’s the most unusual place you’ve ever squeezed in a session?

We witnessed a time traveler in Golden, Colorado this morning! He was sporting a shirt straight out of 2003! What's your oldest merch?

Huge nod to the incredible Cary Morin today! ​If you haven’t experienced his music yet, do yourself a favor and dive in. A member of the Crow Nation, Cary is a true master of fingerstyle guitar effortlessly blending acoustic blues, roots, folk, and Native Americana into a sound.

Some folks have sent messages for more info on Wyland and his artwork! Robert Wyland painted Whaling Wall #47 right in our hailing Port! Norfolk, VA!! ​From iconic city walls to custom ocean inlay designs for Takamine guitars, his art inspires deep marine conservation!

Meet Mike’s Takamine “whale guitar"
The instrument that kicked off his 24 year partnership with Takamine. The stunning inlay artwork was created by a famous marine life painter, Wyland.

As Mike puts it: “She’s traveled many miles in buses, planes & now crossed the Atlantic with me on our sailboat!
