## Resource

Thomm Jutz's story is unlike any other we've ever shared. Born in the Black Forest of Germany, Jutz became obsessed with American music when, at the age of 11, he saw Bobby Bare on TV. He eventually moved to Nashville, where he has worked with Nanci Griffith, Mary Gauthier, Billy Strings, and others. These days, he also teaches songwriting at Belmont University. On this week's podcast, we talk to the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer about his new solo album, Ring-A-Bellin', its companion book, his secrets for success in Nashville, and so much more. It's a great chat. https://thommjutz.com Order the Ring-A-Bellin' book: https://thommjutz.com/store Subscribe to the Fretboard Journal print magazine here .
