Rock the Next Stage with Dori Staehle, feat. Rod Abernethy

Starting Over: When the Music Calls You Back: Folk singer and guitar player Rod Abernethy has been performing in the Carolinas for more than three decades, playing both 6 and 12-string acoustic guitar. Rod's original songs revolve around family, friends and places in North Carolina. His hauntingly beautiful guitar instrumentals are in the styles of some of his favorite guitar players like Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges, and Chet Atkins.

Rod has a strong history in the southern rock music scene, reaching back to his days as a guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter in well-known North Carolina bands including Arrogance, which was signed to several labels, including Warner Brothers. He was also in Glass Moon, Rod Dash, The Slackmates, and Sixteen Tons. Rod is currently working on his new album with legendary producer Don Dixon (REM, The Smithereens, Marti Jones, Gin Blossoms) that's due for release in Oct.
