Andy McLeod (VA) is a musician and visual artist living in Fredericksburg Va. Inspired by the work of Jack Rose and Pelt, Fahey and Delta Blues, he taught himself how to play finger style guitar in open tuning and experimented with mixing it with drones and psychedelic elements and in the process he got into clawhammer banjo so that this became a big part in his current work as well. https://andymcleod.bandcamp.com/
