June of every year marks the Bonnaroo Music Festival, which is a Big Darn Deal in Tennessee. With over 90,000 in attendance, this year's event had headliners like Bruce Springsteen, Phish, Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Elvis Costello... you get the drift. WOW - what a weekend!And every year there's Matt Allen - best known as the Ice Cream Man.
The Ice Cream Man is a staple on the Festival Circuit, and Matt lives out of his ice cream truck, traveling from festival to festival, making friends, and sharing his music as well as his ice cream! Seriously: Matt is one of a kind. You have to meet him to understand.
This year, we fixed up The Ice Cream Man with a Voyage-Air Songwriter guitar, so he could take it around the country and capture videos of ... well, people playing the instrument.
You know what? He did exactly that, and captured some incredible footage of artists like Brett Dennen, Avett Brothers, Bobby Bare, Jr., Band of Horses, and Daniel Johnston all playing the same guitar. And of course, had them all autograph that guitar.
Check the videos that The Ice Cream Man captured here. And soon, that incredibly autographed Voyage-Air guitar is going to be auctioned off on e-Bay, with the proceeds going to charity.
