Jason Mist:
Jason is a musician from New Caledonia mixing several styles: folk, blues, reggae, roots, Indian music... An outstanding musician on the weissenborn, it was really a great project to make him a custom weissenborn in Koa. If he comes near your town, don't miss him! Whether it's solo, in a duo with his friend Martin on bass, or in a trio, you won't regret it! He just released his first album "Balance" in 2022.Link to his website: Jason Mist
John Butler:
I discovered the lap-steel guitars and slide playing because of this musician. It was in 2005 when I heard the songs "Zebra" and "treat yo mama" on the "Sunrise over sea" album. I immediatley fell in love with this different type of playing and sound, and since this day I'm a fan of this great guitar player and his music. 10 years later, I decided to make a weissenborn to thank him, and I had the chance to met him at a festival in France to give him the guitar.Thanks to John, Byron, Grant, Kester and the team at the festival du couvre feu which allow me to met him.
