Dillon Hodges is a very talented young man. If you get a chance to hear him play, take it. To tell you a little more about him, here's a copy/paste from his website...

quote:
"Florence High School senior Dillon Hodges won the title as Flat Picking Guitar National Champion at the 36th Annual Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kan., on Saturday, Sept. 15. The contest annually features a field of 40 of the top guitar players from across the United States. Hodges was selected as one of five finalists after the first round in the event, then claimed the title as National Champion with his performance in the final round. Hodges became the first left-handed guitar player to claim the national title in the 36-year history of the event. He is also the first flat picking champion from the state of Alabama, and, at 17-years old, he is the second youngest winner ever (second only to Mark O'Connor). Carl Miner of Austin, Texas was second and Roy Curry of Hixson, Tenn., finished third. Both are previous winners of the contest. Dillon is also a featured artist in Sept./Oct. issue of Flat Picking Guitar Magazine, a national publication published in California."


I like his style. It's different. He writes some of his songs and puts an interesting twist on popular music, but mostly it's just fun to watch him play because he's so talented.
