The acoustic guitar is normally thought of as a safe instrument, as
something to back up a folk singer. But in reality it is a set of
metal wires pulled to tension trying to break a wooden body. With
this in mind we bring you "People Who Should Not Play Acoustic
Guitar," a line up of experimental & hard playing musicians taking up
the instrument as it was before Les Paul was born & running it
through the gamut.

Bret Hart
-- percussive guitar player & instrument improviser
Brian John Mitchell
-- aggressive ambient guitarist of Remora
David Bjorkback
-- percussionist of Razzle & the entirety of The Torch Marauder
