Super stoked to announce new guest, Shane Speal, to The Story!
York, PA's Shane Speal is the world's foremost master of the cigar box guitar, a primitive stringed instrument cobbled together from discarded wood, guitar strings, and empty box. Shane Speal is responsible for the modern resurgence of the cigar box guitar, a once forgotten instrument of American blues and roots music. He has been featured in the LA Times, Guitar World, and Premier Guitar magazines and his concert has been featured in several documentaries, including PBS' Songs Inside the Box.
Speal is the author of the book, Making Poor Man's Guitars (2018, Fox Chapel Publishing) which features plans on how to make cigar box guitars, beer can microphones and many other DIY musical instruments.
Shane Speal fronts the junk rock band, Shane Speal's Snake Oil Band, a hard rock blues outfit featuring cigar box guitars, electric washtub bass, harmonica and homemade drums.
