Monterey, Tenn. — Andrew Buckner a mandolinist/guitarist from middle Tennessee who performs and records in the Nashville area has announced the release of his EP Coffee and a Good Book.
About the project Buckner said, "Coffee and a Good Book was born out of the desire to record a great mandolin, in a simple, delicate, and intimate way.
"The Northfield Model M proved to be the perfect instrument for this project as it was extremely responsive, even to the most delicate touch, and recorded such a complex tone no matter what was asked of it. As far as the tunes were concerned, I wanted to provide a good sampling of my journey as a player.
"No track made it to this EP unless I genuinely enjoyed playing it, and as one can see from the eclectic song list, I drew inspiration from a variety of genres and sounds."
