The Frankfurt show has really come alive for us the last couple of years. We've had the same booth location for a few years now, and increasing numbers of visitors and buyers are including us in their show plans. But mostly the reason for the increased buzz is due to the artists who have contributed their talent to our show.

SONiA is a truly gifted singer and songwriter, and a thoroughly engaging performer. She played a set at our booth on each of the four days, and also did three sets on Musikmesse's Acoustic Stage. European fans are falling in love with her; on this trip, she lined up a future tour and did an interview for a cover story in a major music magazine.

I'm extremely proud that SONiA is a fiercely loyal endorser of Shubb Capos.

Jazz virtuoso Lulo Reinhardt is the grandnephew of Django Reinhardt, and his playing shows it. He was kind enough to stop by the booth and play for awhile.
