Striking Matches

Grinding guitars + soaring vocals = stripped-down rock bliss.The spark for Striking Matches flared in 2007, on the first day Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis met in a guitar class at Belmont University. They've been playing as a duo and leading other musicians under the band's banner, with an album and a handful of EPs to their credit, ever since.Recently, Premier Guitar's John Bohlinger met with Zimmermann and Davis in their East Nashville studio while they took a break from recording their new album. Zimmermann and Davis did some show-and-tell, pulling a lot of Gibson, Fender, and Takamine out of their collective hats, and playing some killer music, too.[Brought to you by D'Addario XS Strings: https://ddar.io/xs.rr]Mentioned in this episode:Check out D'Addario's latest here: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr
