Acoustic lap slide music with earth in

Fred Kinbom's whole perception of music-making changed when he discovered his passion for acoustic lap slide guitar playing in late 2005. Coming from a songwriter background, he left his band and regular guitars behind and immersed himself in the joy of playing lap style guitar. And there's no turning back on this journey of musical discovery. Fred's simplistic-yet-expressive style combined with his gift for melody is attracting the attention of both fellow sliders and music lovers in general.

Fred Kinbom is a proud endorsee of Diamond Bottlenecks lead crystal tone bars and also of Tribo-Tone tone bars.
