It may not be Friday yet, but we had some insanely talented friends in the shop for today's video, so why not make a video?! Our guests, Ron Artis II and The Truth, first came into the shop a few months ago during Upstream Festival (which they were a part of). After spending most of the time since then on the road, they finally made it back to the area! It was a cool family ordeal, two of the band members being brothers, with Ron's wife and daughters on the road with them. Ron's beautiful and soulful voice backed by a couple of other fantastic musicians was a real treat to listen to and have in our shop!

We did lend the boys a couple of pieces of gear to play with as well, specifically our immaculate 1974 Fender Super Reverb, the 1967 Fender Dual Showman with 2x15 blonde cabinet rig, and our beautiful 1965 Fender Jazz Bass in Candy Apple Red! We've previously made demo videos with these pieces, so we kept this video about the Ron and the band, but check out the following links if you want to know more about them or hear them specifically!
