If you're into the blues or handmade cigar box instruments i've got a humdinger for ya. Shane Speal's 'Cigar Box Nation' is an online community of Cigar Box Guitar enthusiasts and a great wealth of information. There you can find building plans, music, video... you name it.
FESTIVAL
At this time, the Cigar Box Nation is gearing up for one hell of a festival in Pennsylvania. It will be held in Downtown York outside the York Emporium Bookstore on August 28 from 10am-5pm and it is all FREE. The event features eight performing acts on the CBGitty.com Main Stage and the Mr. Suit. Records indoor acoustic stage. In addition to the Saturday concert, a pre-fest concert with Shane Speal and 7 Hills Stomp will be held at the First Capital Dispensing Co. in downtown York on Friday, August 27 at 10pm. There will also be vendors & plenty of chances for you to jam out on your own box.
FREE DOWNLOAD
If you're like me and can't make it to the fest, or if you can and need some tunes to get you in the mood for the occasion, Shane is offering his album called 'The Jug Fusion Sessions' (24 tracks!) as a FREE DOWNLOAD. And we love FREE don't we. So skedaddle on over to the site and check it out.
