2 Bowed Guitars, one Flamingo and a Box (aka 2GV)

About Me

What happens when a guitar player sets out to re-design the guitar to be played with a bow? What happens when he meets up with another like minded player who commissions one of these instruments? Then what happens when they meet up with a Flamenco player who swims naked with sharks? 2GV. (2 GuitarViols). Nowadays, the new 2GV line up is two bowed guitars, one Flamenco and a box: Jonathan Wilson (GuitarViol 1, GuitarViol builder/designer), Oscar Islas (GuitarViol 2), Anthony Gabriel (Flamenco Guitar, Weed-Wacker right hand), Darryl Redwood (Cajon, percussion and soul.) 2GV plays often at Borders in Santa Barbara, The Santa Barbara Museum of Art and various upscale Soirées. Need a band that will utterly bemuse and inspire your guests? Write us!
