Lincoln Meyers has soaked up the flawless styles of the great masters -- Doc Watson, Tony Rice, Norman Blake, David Grier -- and synthesized it into his own style defined by flat out good taste, whether it be a slow ballad or an instrumental at breakneck speed. Lincoln seems to know where it came from. "My father, a jazz DJ, instilled a sense of what good music is, no matter the style." That jazz connection is interesting by way of contrast. While jazz on the guitar is its own immensely challenging endeavor, flatpicking imposes unique challenges -- the heavier gauge strings, higher actions, and sheer physicality of the strumming are huge impediments for many players. But apparently, not for Lincoln. Watch him play a lead guitar break at 170 beats per minute and you'll ask yourself, "Did I just hear Lincoln Meyers nail that, at that speed, and not miss a single note on an old Martin D-18 with high action?" Yes you did! Lincoln is currently making an impression with Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen. Check out reviews and info at http://dirtykitchenband.com/. If you're interested in hiring Lincoln for lessons, gigs or recording sessions or just want to say "hi", drop him a line at lincolnmeyers@hotmail.com.
