This issue we explore what inspires and drives us to take musical initiative in the New Year and beyond. Starting with Adrian Legg and his whimsical approaches to music and self discovery. Ariane Cap lends a modern flair to old practice routines and hear from legend Bill Kirchen as he shares stories and insights about his career.
We also do some “ceol” searching with Tony McManus as this Celtic guitar superpower shares stories and good humor. Matt Brandt gives us the inside scoop on how to prepare and approach solo acoustic gigs. Tommy Jamin also returns with a second chapter of his series StudioWire exploring the progress of building out the new TrueFire Studio.
Plus, a Riff issue wouldn’t be complete without lessons. Settle in with Frank Vignola, Dave Celentano, Jamie Andreas, Jeff McErlain and Jeff Scheetz.
So get ready to kick of this year with inspiration and Riff with us!
