Guitar Nerds
The Marvellous Eric Hemmer!
Season 6, Ep. 28
•
Hello dear listener,
Welcome to a rather special episode of The Guitar Nerds Podcast.
This week, Matt and I are joined by longtime Patreon supporter, and all-round wonderful bloke, dialling in to join us from Dubuque, Iowa, Eric Hemmer!
Eric was recently diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer, but he's not about to let that stop him filling his time playing amazing guitars, visiting awesome guitar shops, and being an all-round awesome fella, great friend, and turbo father.
We're very proud to have had Eric on this episode talking about his gear, and indulging in a few Reverb watchlist finds!
Eric has a Benefit and fundraiser to put some money aside for his kids' future.
If you'd like to donate towards this then you can, either via Venmo with @StuisyGuitar or via PayPal @SamandAndrew529
Thanks to all you nerds for being such a wonderful community. It's something I will always be very proud of!
