Special guest, 13 year old Casey Baron, has been playing the guitar since the age of 8. He developed a passion to build his own custom designed Cigar Box Guitars at the age of 10. It was while he was looking for different ways to make a wash basin bass that he came upon the Cigar Box Guitar. His curiosity was piqued by two gentlemen, Shane Speal and Keni Lee Burgess. Along with his growing love for the Mississippi Delta Blues, he decided build his first Cigar Box Guitar. Since then, he’s built 65 cigar box guitars.

In August of 2013 Casey played at the Cigar Box Festival in York, Pennsylvania. By a chance meeting at the Crossroads Music Store in Amagansett, where Casey has many of his guitars for sale, he had the good fortune to meet a local guitar hero, Kerry Kearney. Kearney was immediately taken with the young talent and since then he’s been a featured guest and quite a sensation at some of Kearney’s local shows.

He plays for the love of the music and the instruments he builds. It is a treat to listen to someone his age play Delta Blues with the passion and feeling of someone far beyond his years.
