#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Bryan Loy & Paradise56 Press Kit Photo

Heads up ya'll! I was adopted by these guys today and wanted to share my good fortune with you here on the Nation. Many of you have followed my various doings since I joined CBN and this has got to be the best thing that's happened to me yet, music wise. Heck they even let me play my cigar box guitars on stage! I copied this from their Facebook page to share with you so you can watch for some for some good music and videos that will follow soon:
Paradise56 is a Funk/Rock/Blues band based out of Franklin, NC featuring Bryan Loy (Paradise Music) as the frontman. The group performs a lot of older Blues standards, along with Funk favorites and Classic Rock tunes. We also play songs ranging from Reggae tunes to Bossa Nova jams, and several band originals.
I'll be posting songs with the CBGs here on the Nation and the rest on YouTube.
