These notables in their own respective spaces are either Artists, Writers, Producers & Guitarists who either own, play or have had a Voyage Air on their tour bus. Regardless, they are not endorsers rather ones who know the value of the original folding guitar, Voyage Air.

Danny Flowers: Hit Songwriter Danny Flowers may be best known for having penned classic hits for other artists, but as a solo artist his bluesy blend of raw emotion combined with a heartfelt yearning will speak to your very soul. Danny’s instrumentality has also earned him a high level of notoriety in the industry.

Eric Clapton said “I think this [music] is tremendous. I consider Danny a good friend and a great musician in the truest, old school country-rock style. There is just not enough of this kind of stuff around anymore.”

Flower’s writing credits span several genres and his flexibility as a guitarist and wordsmith is well-known. He penned “Tulsa Time” for Eric Clapton, which Don Williams also cut. Williams then had this with “Back In My Younger Days,” “Senorita,” and “To Be Your Man.” Emmylou Harris recorded “Before Believing” as the title cut for her Pieces of the Sky album. “Gulf Coast Highway” was recorded by Emmylou and Willie Nelson as well as by Nanci Griffith and Evangeline. The list goes on.

With all this under his belt, Flowers still manages to maintain the poise and humility of a Zen master while tossing off riffs with incredible taste and feeling reminiscent of Ry Cooder’s gospel-like grooves with a slide guitar virtuosity and delicate upper-register vocal vibratos of David Lindley.

Peter Copeland: is a singer/songwriter based in Southern California. He has a following in South East Asia, and performs there three or four times a year. Peter was one of the first Artists to get a Voyage-Air, and has not looked back. He says that with the eighteen hour flight and the safety of his guitar no longer an issue, what was once a huge problem is now a distant memory.

Peter’s VAOM- 1C has now been to South East Asia four times. Peter says: “It looks great, sounds great, is a joy to play, and never leaves my side.” His new acoustic CD was written entirely on his Voyage Air, mostly in hotel rooms all over the world. He says: “Having a great acoustic guitar, in new, exotic surroundings, brings out songs and ideas I might not come up with at home. For the first time in my life, wherever I go, and with no stress and effort, I have a wonderful, full size acoustic with me. I’m good to go. And go I do.” Peter has performed at our booth at the NAMM show, and fits in well with our team. We love reading his emails from all over the world.
