The Master and the Young Guitar-Slinger


One established legends and another soon to be have teamed in a recent ad campain for designer John Varvatos. Led Zepplin guitarist and all around rockstar Jimmy Page and up and coming blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr. take center stage in the video for Varvatos' Spring/Summer 2013 collection. In it, Clark Jr. is seen playing in an open hall while elsewhere, Page rides through London in a black cab. The video ends as Page reaches to door presumably leading to the hall in which Clark is playing.

This most recent campaign is the latest in a line of ads from Varvatos featuring legendary musicians such as Paul Weller, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop and Slash. Of Page, Varvatos says "[he] has been a music and fashion icon of mine since 1970. He has been a major influence and I am honored to call Jimmy a friend." And Clark?  "[He's] is the real deal - amazing guitar player, singer, songwriter and friend. Having 'The Master' and the 'Young Guitar-Slinger' together in our campaign is a dream come true."

Twist and Turn
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting. Last...
