Rig Rundown: Angie Swan

David Byrne’s 6-string counterpart discusses the tonal, aesthetic, and production particulars influencing her gear for Byrne's HBO and American Utopia Broadway shows.

Another NAMM-sparked friendship, another guitar.... This time Swan ran into the jovial Doug Kauer while wandering the halls of the Anaheim Convention Center. The two hit it off (one of her mottos is: “if you can hang with someone, you can work with someone”), and she needed to fill a void in her guitarsenal with something cooking with P-90s. She ended up landing this Kauer Starliner Express with Wolfetone MeanP90s.
