Real roots music, or as mutual friend Nick Forster puts it, "music with a low BS factor" ...that's Marley's Ghost. In their case the roots go in so many directions it defies classification. Combine that with four distinctive lead voices, and four multi-instrumentalists, and it would seem that continuity would be an issue. Yet there is a Marley's Ghost feel and sound that ties it all together comfortably.

I've gotten to sit in with them many times, and it is always a pleasure.

(L to R) Jon Wilcox, Dan Wheetman, Ed Littlefield Jr., Mike Phelan are all talented guys, all good friends, and (now we're getting to the real point, aren't we?) ...all use Shubb capos.

Ed and Mike make especially good use of the Shubb partial capo; Mike always has one with him, and uses it on many of his songs, sometimes in conjunction with our regular capo. He's passionate about how cool it is, and loves to turn people on to it.

Mike Phelan has joined me at our NAMM show booth in Anaheim the past two years, where it is perfectly appropriate for him to extol the virtues of Shubb capos to his heart's content.
