Hey, I'm Nicholas โ€” originally from Minneapolis, MN, currently in Brooklyn, NY. I've played electric guitar most of my life and just discovered the Weissenborn a couple of years ago through Ben Harper's music. I was instantly fascinated by its sound, so I got one for myself earlier this year. I have to say, this instrument has changed my life, pulling me deeply back into music and introducing me to several new idols such as Thomas Oliver, Pat Tierney, and, of course, Jacob Raagaard. Attempting to learn some of their music has taught me a ton about what's possible with this instrument and I'm continuing to explore and create some of my own songs that I look forward to sharing with you all. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Hey Iโ€™m Kristin - I grew up listening to my dadโ€™s southern rock and outlaw country records where I first heard pedal steel. Then lived in Hawaii for ten years and fell in love with those Hawaiian noises - lap steel / slack key guitar. Then I moved to Austin, Texas - mecca of pedal steel and also where I first heard of the Weissenborn. Iโ€™m slowly learning and look forward to chatting with yโ€™all ๐Ÿค™
