I like this artist a lot, he's an excellent player but, I see now, an equally good songwriter too.

His real name is William Apostol, and he's overcome a hell of a past.

This music just flows out from deep inside him.

His songs make me sob like a baby.

Do a deep dive into some of his live stuff, and you'll see what I mean.

It was when I first heard of him. He's a really hot flat picker, matches the talent of the best I've seen. I like his voice too, he's a natural.. Someone once told me that they thought artists were often people who had suffered and were able to express themselves so well through art because of that suffering.

He was raised by the father he has known, Terry Barber.

Terry, an extreme talent in his own right, taught him from a young age.
