Welcome luthier and musician, Matt Shimala, to In-Focus Podcast Number 127, another podcast by our Indie/Rock Music Host, Scott Bishop. Scott was our podcast guest on Podcast Episode 113.

Matt is a luthier. A luthier is a maker of stringed instruments ranging from violins to guitars. He is an interesting combination of art, craft, and skills for sure!

Matt’s focus and his art are focused on the guitars he builds as well as the instruments he repairs. Matt Shimala also has a love for camping, hiking, running, foraging, astronomy, and mycology, the study of fungi – mushrooms!

Matt talks with The Artist Index’s Music Host, Scott Bishop, about his background and lots more.  This episode was recorded with Zoom “post-pandemic” in 2022.
