Ben Sharp: The Man Behind Cloudkicker
Cloudkicker was one of the most refreshing bands I have heard in a long time. After reading the website I found out it wasn’t a band, but in fact one insanely creative talented guy, Ben Sharp.

At What Age Should My Child Start Guitar?
This has to be in the top 3 questions that I get asked the most, so I thought it would be nice to have an official post about it. Personally, I don’t take students under the age of 10. Here is why… Guitar is a VERY physical instrument. Students of all ages will tell you that. You need...

We did this in hopes to educate bands, and promote smart decision making. We covered topics ranging from touring, booking shows, recording, promoting gigs, as well as broader issues like the state of the music industry itself. The...
