Anya will be joined by Billy Cardine, recognized as a slide guitar pioneer, taking the Dobro into uncharted territory. Jerry Douglas says “…an amazing Dobro player…he is fluent in everything that I do and everybody who has come before. I couldn’t pick a better example of where the Dobro is now or what the possibilities are with the instrument.” Listen to him here.
