Willie Watson

Plays OM-1, OM-50

"I bought my first Larrivée 20 years ago, it was the sound I wanted for a lifetime"

For nearly two decades, Willie Watson has made modern folk music rooted in older traditions. He’s a folksinger in the classic sense: a singer, storyteller, and traveler, with a catalog of songs that bridge the gap between the past and present. On Willie's upcoming release of Folksinger Vol. 2, he acts as a modern interpreter of older songs, passing along his own version of the music that came long before him.

Southern gospel. Railroad songs. Delta blues. Irish fiddle tunes. Appalachian music. Folksinger Vol. 2 makes room for it all. Produced by David Rawlings, the album carries on a rich tradition in folk music: the sharing and swapping of old songs. Long ago, the 11 compositions that appear on Folksinger Vol. 2 were popularized by artists like Leadbelly, Reverend Gary Davis, Furry Lewis, and Bascom Lamar Lunsford. The songs don’t actually belong to those artists, though. They don’t belong to anyone. Instead, they’re part of the folk canon, passed from generation to generation by singers like Watson.

Astrid Young

Plays LV-03R, L-03R 12-String

"Nothing feels and sounds like a Larrivée - no other guitar has the same depth, color, and responsiveness. Pure love!"

With a career spanning decades—backing world-class bands while carving out her own soul-stirring sound—Astrid Young delivers haunting melodies, searing guitar work, and pure rock energy. Her discography dates back to 1984 and boasts over forty-five releases, including five solo albums and dozens of credits as a side-musician and background singer. She’s shared stages with A-list acts and toured the world from the Sunset Strip to Rock in Rio and everywhere in between. Music Connection Magazine once said she was "More closely related to Angus" and most critics will agree, there’s a musical surprise around every corner. Think Alice in Chains Unplugged meets David Bowie with a Kate Bush mystique. She calls it Acid Folk—a genre she admittedly invented as her style can’t be adequately categorized in today’s segmentation parlance.
