Guitarist Ben Garnett joins us this week to talk about the making of his new acoustic album, Kite’s Keep.
Garnett’s journey as a musician is one-of-a-kind. This former tuba player became infatuated with the guitar thanks to his uncle, Andy Timmons. He then discovered the Punch Brothers, immersed himself in bluegrass, and now has actual Punch Brothers on his new album.
Give it a listen and then go check out Kite’s Keep on all the streaming platforms.
