Voyage-Air Guitar Artist Relations Director, Virginia Cannon reports from the road:

Wednesday, November 24, 2010 - "Another busy day meeting with Voyage-Air artists, and I finally checked in at the Oakland, CA, airport. While I was in line, a family in front of me spotted the Voyage-Air guitar over my shoulder, and wanted to know all about it. Mara, Eric and the rest couldn't believe it was a full-size guitar in such a small and easy to carry case.

"A few minutes later we were all boarding the plane and finding our seats - Eric rushed to help. As usual, my Voyage-Air guitar easily fit in the overhead bin.

"Is this news? Not really, but just an example of how folks are finding out about Voyage-Air guitars, and how easy it is to travel with them as a carry-on item. I take my Voyage-Air guitar with me everywhere. Once you play one, you will too!"

Mulch Brothers: "Everybody Loves Summertime" Contest Winner

Labor Day may mark the unofficial end of Summer for most of us, but Michael Booth of Pensacola, Florida has plenty of reason to keep celebrating: he just won the national contest with an original music video for the Mulch Brothers popular tune "Everybody Loves Summertime."

"What struck me about Booth's entry was that he so captured the spirit of "Everybody Loves Summertime," said Mark Mulch.

"Everything about this video was just plain fun," adds Nick Mulch. "He really got the message of the song... good times with friends and family... all summer long."

Placing second in the contest was Andres Izturriaga of Franklin, Tenn. and third was Theresa Musser of Nashville.

Officials at the Mulch Brother's label, Savannah Records, and its publishing company, Savannah Music Group, were pleased with the turnout. The song was downloaded from as far away as Australia and Great Britain. In the United States, entries came from 33 states, from Maryland to California, Michigan to Texas.

"We are happy that the Mulch Brothers have such a loyal fan base," says Laurie Spoon, vice president and general manager of Savannah Records. "Their tour, Everybody Loves Summertime Tour 2010, was highly successful, and radio stations asking them back to participate in station events, yet another indication that they are growing their fan base each day."

Voyage-Air Artists at the Top Songwriter Seminar of 2010

Savannah Records’ Dave Gibson and Daisy Dern are teaming up to produce Smokin Hit Songwriters - a special two-day seminar geared to aspiring songwriters. Dave Gibson should know his craft: with six number one hits under his belt, and songs recorded by country music greats such as Alabama, Confederate Railroad and Tanya Tucker.

Former Mercury recording artist, and songstress, Daisy Dern will be among the Voyage-Air Guitar players teaching songwriting tips and sharing stories, insights, wisdom, experiences and practical advice about songwriting. In addition, hit songwriter (and an early Voyage-Air endorser) Chris Wallin will be on hand to share his view about how to make a song a hit. With a catalogue of hundreds of chart topping hits, he’ll tell how it feels to write a song like “Don’t Blink” recorded by Kenny Chesney.

A panel will judge a special open mic night session for the first 30 participants to sign up for the seminar, and the winner will receive a one hour writing session with Dave.

Sign up soon: this songwriting retreat will be held November 5-7 in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee in Monteagle. It’s sure to be a Voyage-Air Guitar weekend, as well as a great excuse to take your guitar to the mountains!

Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band go Voyage-Air!

Voyage-Air Guitar created quite a stir at a recent Jimmy Buffet show at Shoreline Amphitheater near San Francisco. Already a well traveled Voyage-Air Guitar player, Jim Mayer (the Buffet bassist), turned his band-mates on to a demonstration of the new TelAir electric guitar.

Jim Mayer’s brother, Peter, (lead guitar player for the Coral Reefer band) has now been added to our roster of endorsers. The legendary Sonny Landreth was even impressed with the Voyage-Air, sticking around to test it out and take pictures with Voyage-Air V.P. Michael Ferrucci and Artist Relations Director, Virginia Cannon.

Since Sonny Landreth has played with guitar icons like Eric Clapton, Mark Knofpler and Eric Johnson, a guitar has to be exceptional to catch his attention... and the Voyage-Air guitar did just that!


Jim Mayer took his Voyage-Air Guitar on a recent trip to Paris with Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band, which sparked the interest of the entire band. The result? Jimmy Buffet is now a proud owner of a Voyage-Air Guitar!
