“In a city of monster guitar players, Joe Robinson is a dragon slayer.” (Nashville Scene)
Christie Lenée
“Symphonic compositions flow from Christie Lenée’s fingertips effortlessly, with sound ranging from transcendental folk-pop to virtuosic instrumentals.” (PBS.com)
“Christie Lenée is a captivating and natural-born composer, performer, and guitar wizard. (The Folk Project)
Olli Soikkeli
“… a riveting Finnish guitarist who combines astonishing dexterity and speed with pure soul in a way that places him among the worthiest current day successors to the legacy of the great Django.” (The Wall Street Journal)
”Gypsy jazz became an international musical dialect long ago. Olli Soikkeli, one of the most adept and resourceful contemporary guitarists in that still potent idiom, hails from Finland.” (The New Yorker)
