Memphis Gerald is an Americana/Indie artist with sincere approach to Roots music. Originally from Edinburgh, he cut his teeth on the road as a touring guitarist before finding his own voice as songwriter. He draws influences from the music and songwriting traditions of Scotland’s Folk and Indie scenes while indulging his love for Country and Blues music. In our first All Star Session from Alvarez Studios, Memphis Gerald discusses which guitars he uses to craft his music, and why he loves a Parlor.

With so many brands of guitars in the market today, how do you choose the right one for you?

Which guitar gives you unsurpassed value and quality? Which guitar is the one you keep reaching for? We believe that guitar is Alvarez.
