Baker Artist Portfolios

For most of history "folk music" was played on "folk instruments", not instruments built by specialists or in factories. Since 2004 Lee Connah has been building guitars, banjos, and other stringed instruments from salvaged lumber, construction debris, found objects, and various repurposed and unorthodox materials, and decorating them in imaginative ways. He also writes and records original music, and makes crankies--scrolling panaramas that tell stories.
