Thank you to everyone who showed up for our March 14 show, Masters of American Music at the Hamilton! We had a sold-out crowd, and the energy in the room was electric. Established musicians Jerry Douglas, Amanda Shires, and Jason Isbell shared the stage with younger musicians Jan Knutson and brother-sister duo Giri and Uma Peters, and special guests Steve Abshire and Phil Wiggins.
Our online auction closes midnight Sunday. Bid while you still can on a vintage Martin guitar; a Beard “Deco Phonic” resonator guitar; a Martin Dreadnought Jr. prototype guitar, signed by Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires; and more.
We will post more photos and videos as they come in, but for now enjoy the images below! Photos by Michael Stewart.
