Voyage-Air Guitar

Nolan Neal: It’s not every day that you meet a singer/songwriter who is actually from Nashville, Tennessee…..especially one as unique as Nolan Neal. This prolific artist is perhaps best described by a fan, who saw him sitting on a waist-high brick wall one September evening in 2001 on Nashville’s famous 2nd Avenue, strumming his guitar and belting out a song. “He was beginning to draw a crowd, so we took a seat next to him. I remember thinking how he reminded me of John Lennon, with a voice better than Creed's lead singer. We sat and listened to him play his guitar and sing for about two hours. His music is like a soul trip, his voice is the kind that gets under your skin. He can play a guitar like no one I've heard in real life and his music and voice are full of emotion. Before we left he gave me his autograph...which I received on a Bible handout someone had dropped in his guitar case, and I now keep in a safe place.” Read more about Nolan Neal, click here

Brad Paisley is an endorser and a big fan of Voyage-Air guitars. This year, he not only hosted this year’s Country Music Awards (CMA), he ended up taking “Entertainer of the Year.” Whoa!

The Zac Brown Band was nominated for two awards, and Zac was nominated in the songwriting category. Zac’s another smash-hit pro that takes his Voyage-Air guitar everywhere. Although it seems that they’ve been on the music scene forever, the Zac Brown Band took the award as “Best New Artist.”

Another Voyage-Air Guitar player, Alan Jackson, was nominated for “Musical Event of the Year.”

Although not YET a Voyage-Air Player, Mac McAnally took “Musician of the Year.” He plays often with Jimmy Buffet. Jimmy Buffet’s ‘Coral Reefer Band’ – well, two guitar players in the band carry a Voyage-Air. Guess we’ll be heading to another Buffet concert soon!The CMA Watching Party, hosted by Ole’ was held in downtown Nashville on 2^nd Avenue. Voyage-Air Guitar endorser Chris Wallin and his wife were there to enjoy the festivities. Other celebrities wandered in and out, like Editor in Chief of Nashville Lifestyles Magazine, Stacy Standifer. Big fans of Voyage-Air Guitar, Ole’s top executives, Gilles Goddard and Michael McCarty, talked it up to many of the guests.

Brian Ray’s party at the Roxy in Hollywood was undoubtedly one of the most energized shows we've seen. The house was packed to the gills, and Brian played songs from his newly released cd “This Way Up.” He was supported in the audience by his fellow Paul McCartney band mate, Rusty Anderson. Many other superstars filled the audience to see what Brian’s been doing in his time off the road from the McCartney tour.

In keeping with Brian’s charitable nature, he raffled off a number of musical instruments and equipment for the MusiCares charity, including the Voyage-Air Guitar. First up on stage, Voyage-Air CEO Jeff Cohen demonstrated the instrument while Brian pulled the winning name from the hat.

The lucky winner was Gerald Greene, who plays the drums, he sings, plays trombone, harmonica and now the Voyage-Air Guitar! He traveled extensively with his brother, Dennis Greene, a founding member of the group “Sha Na Na”. Gerald released his first solo cd in 1998 entitled “Yesterday Love” and is presently working on a new project called “It’s Time!” In addition to performing, Gerald also writes songs and has had success in acting, with parts in “Law & Order” and “Sex and the City.” He has also worked in the theater in a piece entitled “The Forgotten” written by his brother, Dennis.

It seems that there is no stopping this multi-talented man, there’s no telling where he might show up next with the Voyage-Air Guitar!
