We sat down with Wish today, peered into his process in making incredible custom instruments. We got to hear a bit of his story, and with a man that’s been around as long as he has, there’s so much to take in. We talked blues and jazz, Knoxville and Nashville, hillbillies and hippies, Japanese investors, and hellhounds.
We’re so excited to put this one together for him and for y’all. Look forward to some more sneak peeks into Wish’s world. Check out all his custom guitars, all of them are for sale.

Our first episode is here! We had such an awesome time putting this together and getting to know Kelsey. Having relocated so recently, it’s such a treat to be able to introduce her work to the area in such an intimate and detailed way.
We spend some time understanding her past and her process, but really dive deep into what makes her art speak. Join us today as we take a look at a true folk art practice elevated to a timeless message of environmentalism, community, and stewardship.

We have already started production on our second episode coming soon and look forward to expanding the scope of this project.

We had so much fun making this mini doc - Challenges with lighting and digital storage couldn’t stop the team from making this project a reality.
