Tim is honored to have been asked to showcase The Sunflower Guitar at the Woodstock Invitational Luthier Showcase at the Bearsville Theater.

The Sunflower Guitar project was created by Linda Manzer a world-renowned guitar maker whose instruments are played by superstars including Carlos Santana, Paul Simon, Pat Metheny. When Russia attacked Ukraine, Linda felt compelled to do something. She decided to do what she does best and within a month she had completed the Sunflower Guitar for Ukraine, a one-of-a-kind acoustic guitar with an inlaid sunflower in the blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag.
The Sunflower Guitar is now on a long and winding journey to Ukraine where it will be gifted to the Ukrainian people. Along the guitar’s journey, Linda has arranged for it to pass through the hands of many wonderful people, including superstar musicians and many of Linda’s fellow guitar makers.
All money raised is going to the people of Ukraine via the US charity $1k Project for Ukraine and the Canadian charity, the Canada-Ukraine Foundation.

I recently had the great pleasure to perform at The North American Guitar in London, UK. I greatly enjoyed the interview with esteemed guitar expert Michael Watts who is a wonderful player in his own right. We also recorded a couple of songs to compliment the interview in which Michael hand picked a couple of beautiful guitars for me to play from among the many, many amazing guitars in this collection.
