It becomes this kind of talisman for people. And actually, you’ve really got not very much to do with it at all. It’s their own very private personal relationship with that song. And of course many fans will know who I am, but there’s definitely been times …I remember going to a party in the early days with my good friend, Kevin Divine, great singer/songwriter. And we went to some girl’s birthday party on a rooftop in New York, and she said “Hi, what do you do?” I said, “I’m a singer songwriter.” She said, “Oh, do would I know your music?” And I’m like, “Did you see Devil Wears Prada?” And she’s like, “Oh my God, you’re on the party playlist.” And so my song was on her party playlist for that evening, but she had no idea who sang it. And that to me is kind of what a hit is, where the song actually separates from the umbilical chord and just becomes something much more kind of omnipotent. And I mean, my experience of it just is a ticket to ride, man.

The Oregon-based company extends their line of sustainably sourced models with an inventive new bracing system and a wallet-friendly price tag.Breedlove Organic Artista Pro Concert CE Acoustic-electric Guitar – Burnt Amber

Myrtlewood grows in Oregon along a 90 mile stretch of the Pacific Ocean coast. It is Breedlove’s favorite tonewood for backs and sides. In addition to its highly varied color patterns extenuated by the thin Burnt Amber Burst finish, myrtle delivers surprising energy and extraordinary tonal balance. To further boost the high-energy sound, we chose a European maple neck—which is denser than mahogany—and an Ovangkol fretboard and bridge. Of course, the top is European spruce for responsive, powerful projection. We spared no detail, including brass inlays, Fishman Flex Plus-T Electronics, and a travel-ready hardshell case.
