Larry joins the conversation and tells us how the two met jamming in a kitchen.

Larry tells us about living and growing up in Virginia in a musical family.

The two discuss their collaboration that’s become an EP and why it’s not a full album and how the two are going to make time from their own personal bands to tour together.

The two describe their influences: Tony Rice.

The two talk about their musical education and the guitars they’re playing: Larry an Andrew White guitar and Jon a Preston Thompson guitar and the compromise they make using onboard electronics and the effects they use in their signal chain.
