Hi my name is Mella and Im a Cigar Box Guitar Addict! I adore cigar box guitar for the simplicity, rawness and individuality of each hand made gem! I love when I play them to a crowd and watch their amazement at how much sound a little box can make. I learn more and more every day...

I perform regularly with my band, Barrel Dawg and we've released a few original songs featuring Cigar Box Guitars!

Hi Mella, I liked your photos and youtube videos of you and the band.   It's good to have you as a CBN friend.  Maybe you will load some videos here?  What works best is to click 'share' below the video on youtube.  Click 'embed'  Copy the embed code.  Go to CBN/videos/ Add/ choose the youtube videos option and paste the embed code there.  Load it up.
