Christopher Paul Stelling joins us on this week’s Fretboard
Journal Podcast to talk about the making of his new, Ben
Harper-produced album, Best of Luck.


Stelling’s journey is a fascinating one and we hear all about it:
Mowing lawns in Florida so he could get his first guitar; honing
his chops on the open mic circuit; discovering his first
nylon-string guitar; his ‘50s Martin 00-17; getting signed to
Anti- records; and even a brief stint building instruments
alongside Rono mandolins in Boulder, Colorado. 


This is one of our favorite interviews to date and we
wholeheartedly encourage you to check out Best of Luck.  


Stelling will also be appearing in the Fretboard Journal #46, out
in April.
