The American Primitive style is strong in Guitarist Matt Sowell's playing. Sowell attributes his first awakening to old-time music through his grandfather Frank, who grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. Then, as a furniture apprentice to Nevin Fahs, who runs Red Head Mandolins and is a great guitarist himself, Matt was introduced to unadorned guitar playing from the likes of Missippi John Hurt & Bukka White.
