44 EASTMANGUITARS.COM The Chapmans Jeremy plays the MD815/v, MDA815 John plays the E6D, E10D, AR905CE MUSIC CULTURE Bluegrass and Americana The heart of America honored The origin of these uniquely American music genres can be traced to colonial and nineteenth century settlers from England, Scotland and Ireland. Along the Appalachian range, these folk traditions continued to evolve and by the 1930’s when Bill Monroe and his “Blue Grass Boys” hit the scene, a new American art form was created. Bluegrass continued to mature into various sub-genres such as “new-grass” and “alt-grass” and by the 1990’s a new radio format known as Americana was born drawing on bluegrass roots but also adopting influences from folk, blues, jazz and rock. We at Eastman honor the legacy, tradition and the new musical ethos by offering the best instruments we can to the new breed of roots music devotees. Steeped in this tradition and mindful of the needs of today’s players, we handcraft our instruments to play smoothly and powerfully and to sit right where you need them in the mix. Our guitars feature luscious bottom end to drive the rhythm and create a supportive counterpoint to vocal arrangements. While preserving all the complex harmonic overtones of the iconic vintage instruments of the 1930’s and 40’s, Eastman guitars are also painstakingly voiced to provide a modern clarity that makes a dynamic impact on your music. Our coveted mandolins have rightfully earned a great reputation and following because they deliver a “killer chop” with a rich woody tone and a clear treble “cut” that allows the player to attack as hard as they desire, or focus on soft nuanced subtleties. And Eastman’s faithful re-creation of the 1903 Fairbanks Whyte Laydie II is the very definition of turn-of-the-century banjo tone.
