15 Minutes with Darcy John

It was awesome to have rising country star/ hot shot guitarist Darcy John in the YL Country studio.  

 

We talked about local communal spaces for music growing up and his parents being musicians, pushing forward with his first single "Hunt" (1:31), honing his chops as a guitarist on cruise ships and playing the World Cup in Africa (2:34), the experience of playing lead guitar for Tommy Cash that left him shaking (4:07), Darcy's love for guitar-driven music regardless of genre and playing Eminem on guitar for fans (5:33), what's in Darcy's guitar rig (7:06), the benefit of teachings kids guitar in as far as adding to his own repertoire (8:26), moving out from Ontario to Nashville in his early 20's (9:33), playing in a lounge band with huge names in Nashville and his interesting brush with Carrie Underwood (11:00), our mutual bond through the Corral in Oshawa (12:41), and more!
