“My niche now in the professional world is tailoring tones to the player.” Kevin Muiderman combines musical passion with a dogged scientific approach that not only refines through prototype after prototype, but boldly eschews some of the conventional lore and wisdom about tonewoods. He's always worked closely with musicians, especially professional fingerstyle players, to refine guitars for their style, needs and unique demands. And you can trust he's been getting good feedback, considering the list of guitarists who play his guitars includes Leo Kottke, John Doyle, Martin Simpson, and plenty more! An accomplished fingerstylist himself, the music he plays, the players he builds for, and the community he nurtures through his house concert series are all a part of a cohesive picture. This year, as he continues to build for others, you'll find Kevin out playing his own music, on his own guitars.

Includes live performance and interview with Vancouver's World Champion finger style guitarist Don Alder
Welcome to a warm, full moon evening. Full Flower Moon, as it's traditionally known. To celebrate: moon-based content, including a new track from the moon man himself, Mr. Bob Dylan. Near the top of the show I chatted with champion fingerstyle guitarist Don Alder, who had the pleasure of playing recently with Canadian celebrity-astronaut Chris Hadfield. Don will be at the Rogue Folk Club May 23.The last track "Victoria" shorted out on me, so you'll not hear it on the podcast. Sorry about that! Thanks so much for listening, and happy Victoria Day to my fellow Canucks. Drive safe and, if camping, bring rain gear! cheers, valfolkoasis@gmail.com
