Podcast 486: Sofia Wolfson Returns

Singer-songwriter and Fretboard Journal contributor Sofia
Wolfson recently joined our editorial staff. As we close out
2024, we decided to check in with her to get her recap of the
guitar scene in NYC, her favorite records, artists to watch,
the gear she loved and more. It's a deep dive full of new
discoveries!
