But more importantly, he is a nephew of THE Bob Evans.

Peter Sawchyn
Peter Sawchyn is a world class luthier from the heartland of the Prairies and the best damn washtub player next to Fritz Richmond.
Howard Emerson
Howard is great guitarist from Long Island, NY. His album Crossing Crystal Lake is still one of my favourites. On it his playing has the precision of Pierre Bensusan juxtaposed with the relaxed soulfullness of Mississippi John Hurt.
CAAS – The Chet Atkins Appreciation Society
The annual convention of the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society is held in early July each year. This is an amazing four days and nights of guitar music. I guarantee that on your first visit you will be amazed at the variety of different styles of music that Chet supported and promoted throughout his life. There’s a reason they call him “Mr. Guitar” , and it’s not just because of how he could play.
Jack Semple
Jack is simply one of the best all round guitarists I know. From rockin’ R&B and blues (his trademark), to solo new age acoustic (his album Qu’appelle took Outstanding Instrumental Album at the 2005 WCMAs), he covers all the bases.
