During the most recent Pedal Steel Summit in Vancouver, BC I had the chance to catch up with Canadian Dobro superstar Miles Zurawell. On a quiet afternoon in a friends empty bar we recorded 4 videos and a photoshoot for use as promotional material in the coming year.

It was great to get to work with the Canadian icon, Ruth Moody, and her all star band to cover the classic “Dancing in the Dark”. Over the course of the day we transformed the space into an atmospheric setting for the video and recorded this live off the floor performance that really took off online.

From the tiny town of Horsefly, British Columbia, Jason and Pharis Romero create some of the most unique fretted instruments available today. J. Romero Custom Banjos pay homage to early old-time open-back banjos but with thoroughly modern improvements. They are unique, artistic banjos that look as stunning as they sound. Film director Matt Miles travelled to Horsefly to interview the Romeros both about their banjos and their music career. He created this film for the Fretboard Journal magazine. The Fretboard Journal is a quarterly print magazine dedicated to the art of fretted instruments and good music-making.
