Stanton Edward Interview - The Wallflowers, Jewel - Everyone Loves Guitar #251 Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

Stanton grew up on a tree farm in rural East Tennessee and now travels the world over with The Wallflowers. He was kind enough to share his journey with us, and it's very interesting. Especially when you consider Stanton played trumpet and then drums, long before he even thought of picking up a guitar. Then, when he randomly saw his older brothers electric guitar, it was as foreign as a rocket ship might have been…

We also talk about finding a balance between insanity and perfection… the perfect guitar for every style of music you will ever play… the BEST thing that ever happened to Stanton… his other creative pursuits, and… "Hermit Mode." GREAT call with a very bright, introspective artist who's just getting started...
