In this episode, I sit down with Bill MacKay to discuss his early days of learning guitar, his various moves around the US, his ascent into the realm of solo and collaborative guitar mastery. We touch on his collaborations with Ryley Walker, Katinka Kleijn, Nathan Bowles, and more. Photo of Bill by Ricardo Adame.
