Podcast 179: Filmmaker Drew Roller of Acoustic Uprising

On this week’s podcast, we talk to filmmaker Drew Roller, the
mastermind behind the new documentary ‘Acoustic Uprising.’ Roller
tells us how, thanks to YouTube, he discovered the new guard of
fingerstyle guitarists such as Andy McKee and Jon Gomm; what it
was like to attend Thomas Leeb’s Austria Guitar Boot Camp; the
enduring influence of Michael Hedges; and much more. He also
recommends a handful of contemporary fingerstyle guitarists we
all should check out.
