Late post, but had an awesome time working with my squad at Eric Clapton's Crossroad Guitar Festival, as well as being a part of Paul Reed Smith's induction into the Rockwalk last weekend! Seeing Clapton, John Mayer, Marcus King, Joe Bonamassa, and so many amazing musicians...while being hosted by Bill Murray, was something I'll never forget! So proud of my team for how they continue to crush every event! taken in Moody Center ATX by @frate77

Crazy work week capped off by relaunching Drum-Off after a 10 year hiatus! Words cannot describe how much work my team/marketing put into this event and how proud I am of them all! The @guitarcenter comeback is real...and you haven't seen anything yet!

Also, super excited to see @cjdmusicisme in the final 6...as I saw him audition in Pineville for districts...way to do NC proud! taken in Fonda Theatre by @frate77

First @guitarcenter Rock Walk induction in the books with the iconic Billy Idol and his guitarist Steve Stevens! It was incredible seeing our team in action to make everything become a reality. Legends definitely play here!

Also, thankful for my boy Ernesto coming through and getting a video with a premium view of them getting their imprints. taken in Guitar Center by @frate77

Had a quick trip to Nashville to shoot content with the legendary @billyfgibbons and later hosted a vintage guitar event in partnership with @gibsonguitar! Billy is a great story teller, as he shared the story about the Les Paul he's playing...which happened to be one of the first, straight off the production line Les Paul's ever and happened to be previously owned by BB King. What an amazing night! taken in One Garage Nashvile by @frate77
