Minnesota native Tom Feldmann taught himself to play guitar at the age of 17, spending untold hours dissecting original recordings by everyone from Charley Patton to Skip James, Bukka White to – yes, of course – Robert Johnson. His mastery in that field has aligned him with the who’s who in acoustic music working alongside Jorma Kaukonen at his infamous Fur Peace Ranch, teaching numerous instructional videos for Stefan Grossman’s Guitar Workshop, contributing articles to Acoustic Guitar and Vintage Guitar Magazines, as well as opening shows for David Bromberg, David Lindley, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, and Roy Book Binder.
