JL Stiles

A ragtime fingerpicker who attracts attention for his videos of songs by maestros like Blind Blake and Mississippi John Hurt and other surprising covers like Nilsson's Everybody's Talking at Me, Stiles' most valuable  gems come with his own songs which go straight for the heart and stray from heavy rock to psychedlic to intimate solo acoustic with every part played on one guitar.  Stiles is a rare story of a journeyman who left the world of mathematics in New Orleans to a world of music, taking him to South and Central America, Europe and Asia.
