Longtime friends Jeff Zirkle and Dan Dyszelski decided in to bring a fresh experience to the Charlotte music scene. Happy to do it! So, I started on the drums in the school band growing up but eventually switched over to guitar. When I was in college, we got a chance to headline a show back home, and my dad was there. Not only did he get to see us play, but also it was a great show. Right now, I own four guitars. I still own my first acoustic, a Taylor ce. I also have a string I inherited from my uncle before he passed away and one electric guitar, a Gibson Les Paul R0 built in At one time, I had as many as 18 guitars when I was playing shows regularly.
I have so many! And I love that you can experience live music on so many different levels here. From pros on tour to local acts at smaller venues, Charlotte is just an incredible place to see music of every genre. So, my first guitar-related memory was my dad handing me a Fender Bronco when I was 4 years old. Yes, actually my mom has always been very music oriented. She plays most horned instruments and the harmonica.
I did. I played churches when I was a kid. I remember to this day my first time getting up in front of everyone with just me and my guitar. This may surprise a few people, but I have to say Prince. He was very underrated as a guitar player. I think he may have been the best ever. Head over to our brand page to learn more about our killer roster of partners.
