 Samick Artists Kick Off Summer Touring Season
with Greg Bennett Guitars
Samick Music is pleased to announce the kickoff of the summer touring season as many Samick artists head out on the road with Greg Bennett Design guitars, playing concerts and events around the world.
The number of Samick artists taking part in the touring season continues to grow annually, which provides important feedback to Samick. "Every year we see our artist roster grow, and more of our guitars are going out on the road," said Tony De La Rosa, Regional Sales Manager/Western Territory of Samick's MI Division. "As you can imagine, our artists serve as a great 'testing ground' so to speak, giving us real feedback about our guitars. They can tell us from a pro player's stand point what works well and where we might be able to make a change so that the instrument is more suited for what they do."
Samick artists touring this summer include Drew Davis, The Springs, Coles Whalen, Wolf Mail, and James Williams. For a list of artists and tour dates, visit http://www.gregbennettguitars.com/gbontour.html
