Podcast 212: Guitarist Gwenifer Raymond

Brighton, England’s Gwenifer Raymond joins us on this week’s
podcast. Raymond started playing guitar and drumming in punk and
rock bands, but eventually stumbled upon Appalachian music,
pre-war blues and John Fahey. Since then, she picked up a PhD,
became a video game programmer and has just released her first
album of Fahey-inspired American Primitive music, You Never Were
Much of a Dancer (Tompkins Square). It’s a fascinating journey
that we cover on today’s podcast, as well as her choice in gear
and much more.
