I am new to building these cigar box guitars and looking for others in the general Memphis area that share the same interest.

 

Please advise if there are any groups or individuals in the area.

 

Thanks.

I'm sort of close to Memphis. I live 3 hrs away and work 1 hr away. I sometimes visit Memphis, having family there.

I was in the Memphis area for 7 years before moving last year. I still have a "vacation home" in Olive Branch, MS. By vacation home I mean "my home I haven't been able to sell". I still get down there some to check on it. I discovered CBGs by seeing Richard Johnston perform with his Lowebow one night. John Lowe makes them there at Xanadu Music on Central Ave. I went in and bought a 2-string soon after and have been hooked since.

 

I wasn't aware of anyone else in the area, but given the blues influence, I'm sure they're there. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask me. - David

Hey Tom, I live in Memphis, I work in midtown at No Regrets Tattoo Emporium, I always have a few cbgs for sale and play at the shop.  Stop by sometime, bring something you built, we can trade secrets.
