Traveling the U.S. in Search of Extraordinary Musicians
May 19 2019
Traveling the United States in search of musicians with extraordinary talents—now, that sounds like a great gig. We were thrilled to partner with Chris Funk of The Decemberists to cross the country, meeting incredible musicians along the way. We met a Hawaiian cowboy keeping the sounds of slack-key guitar alive, an R&B musician who planted roots in Portland, a glam metal rocker from the who now prefers his music classical, and a folk singer and violinist who has invented a whole new way of playing her instrument.
