More Info:

On Gary's forthcoming solo acoustic guitar concept album, each song is shot/recorded with a different vintage acoustic guitar of Gary's private very rare collection. The instruments range from Martin 0-1898 Herringbone to Gary's "Main Axe" (over the last 4 decades) Martin D28 1941 Herringbone and 7 other significant guitars for this project entitled "Gary Brewer's House of Axes". This is a "getting back to his roots" type feel likened unto Leo Kottke's 1969 album 6- and 12-String Guitar, with a very stripped down/pure raw microscopic view of the essence and soul of these vintage instruments without the blurring accents of other instrumental accompaniments (in our best efforts to capture the true energy this album was cut with no overdubs, and each song was captured in the first take). There are 9 songs with the last song being a moving tribute to Gary's late Father Finley Brewer whom he lost to cancer in late 2020. Each of these songs have short introductions that tell about each guitar and the song briefly.
