Teja Gerken and Doug Young: “The Locktender’s Reel”
A duo of Peghead Nation fingerstyle guitar instructors play a great version of guitarist Eric Skye’s “The Locktender’s Reel’ during our 10th Anniversary party.
Peghead Nation co-founder Teja Gerken was joined by his fellow fingerstyle guitarists Doug Young and Stevie Coyle for a virtuosic set during our 10th Anniversary Party and Showcase in San Rafael, California. In this video, Teja and Doug play their lovely duet arrangement of guitarist Eric Skye’s composition, “The Locktender’s Reel,” which is also included on their new album, The Water is Wide. Teja and Doug perform regularly, both as a duo and as solo guitarists, and are active members of the global fingerstyle guitar community.
The Peghead Nation 10th Anniversary Party and Showcase happened in November, at Studio Fourth Street, a beautiful new performance and gathering space in Peghead Nation’s hometown of San Rafael, California. In addition to a fun hang and lots of catching up with students, teachers, family, and friends, the evening featured short performances from the Peghead co-founders and an impressive contingent of instructors. It was a special night of unique collaborations and wonderful performances from many of the folks who have made our first decade possible.
Take a look at the Featured Videos section of Peghead Nation for more great performances from the 10th Anniversary Showcase.
