Bend, Oregon – Sept 1, 2013 – American Rivers partnered with Grammy nominated The Infamous Stringdusters for the 2013 American Rivers Tour, which wrapped up last week. It was an epic summer music adventure stopping through, and winding down, some of American’s wildest and most beloved rivers and surrounding communities.
In a show of support for the 2013 American Rivers Tour, Breedlove Guitars donated a Breedlove American Roots
D/SRe-H dreadnought guitar, perfect for the fiery bluegrass style of The Infamous Stringdusters,
Breedlove’s head of artist relations, Ryan Bouslaugh, says, “Free flowing rivers are part of the heritage of the American West, and Breedlove takes this stewardship seriously. We share a belief in conservation and were delighted to be approached by The Infamous Stringdusters to work together on this project.”
The Breedlove Guitar was auctioned off for $2,400 to a Stringdusters fan in Columbia, MD. 100% of the auction proceeds go to support American Rivers’ work to protect and restore rivers throughout the nation.
