My guest this week on the podcast is Scott Marquart. Scott is the founder of String Joy Strings. His story absolutely blows my mind. To start a string company essentially from scratch seems like it would be impossible. Then, he not only accomplishes that, but now he’s even accomplished his dream of getting his strings into Guitar Center. Now, you may not run there to buy a mandolin but if you are on the road and you realize you have no strings for your gig tonight, there is a good chance there is a GC somewhere near you. It’s a big deal. Scott was a great guest and after you listen, I think you’ll understand why he’s been so successful!

This week features the return of one of my favorite people and mandolin players. Joe K. Walsh. Joe’s band Mr Sun featuring Darol Anger, Grant Gordy and Aidan O’Donnell are one of the most exciting string bands around. Each song is beautifully written, arranged and performed. Plus, you never know what to expect, except that it’s going to be wonderful! The album “The Idea Guys” drops on Sept 4th and you can pre-order it here!
