There’s no telling what we’re gonna be up to next.   Jeremy “JB” Bustillos  JB is an accomplished Saxophone Artist and touring musician for over 15 years. JB first picked up the Harp when he was given one as a gift in college. He fell in love with it's simplicity of use but also it's complex nature of making music. Although he acknowledges the influence of many great blues harmonica musicians, he calls his own playing a "very modern" take on a traditional music form that is thoroughly his own. JB is endorsed by Seydel Harmonicas and Blackfoot Custom Amps.   Austin Varner  At only 12 years old, Austin Varner is a more accomplished guitar player than pickers 20 years his senior.  Originally from Henderson, TN, Austin was born with the gift of tone and rhythm.  With a self- driven motivation and a tremendous maturity and work ethic, Austin is on his way to the top.  Look for many good things to come from Austin, and we will help keep you posted on his progress, a truly talented young man!!  Austin is endorsed by Blackfoot Custom Amps and Ronin Guitars.   Atlas Stands  Another great example of fine Tennessee craftsmanship is Atlas Stands.  When it comes to making sure your amplifier is coupled with the sonic stage, we haven’t found anybody better.  If you’re serious about your music, toss out that old folding aluminum stand or the milk crate, and get your amp some proper support.  It isn’t just about the beauty, using tone woods to couple your cabinet to the stage is the best way to ensure that you don’t lose the punch and clarity.    Vinny Marini  Vinny is a native New Yorker, with a passion for music and musicians, that has found his way to Memphis, Tennessee. He has also found his way to express this passion for music through his blogs and his podcast “Music on the Couch.” If you want to know what is new and upcoming in Blues and Rock, Vinny and his couch is the place to find it.
