Episode 34 - Wayne White

June is here and with it Episode 34 of the podcast. This time out, a conversation with songwriter and guitar instrumentalist Wayne White.

Wayne White and his harp guitar

In this episode, Wayne talks about his influences, some of whom might seem surprising for an instrumentalist. We'll talk about how Wayne developed his playing style and about the musical journey that brought him to where he is today.

Wayne also talks about finding the right venues for his style of music, how he came to the harp guitar, misconceptions he's encountered about instrumental music, and some of the challenges of teaching guitar to today's teenagers.

Along the way, Wayne shares three of his compositions: "Justified," "The Second Solution," and "View From The Moon."

This marks the last Measured Voices conversation for the time being. Over the next few weeks, we'll take a listen back to some of the music the various artists have graciously shared. After that, who knows?

Regardless of what happens, this has been a great ride. I'm grateful to every artist who has shared his or her thoughts and music. I'm also grateful to everyone who has taken the time to listen to even one episode of the podcast.

There is an abundance of local and original music in the Treasure Valley. This summer, do yourself a favor and go out and discover some of it.
