Any steel players near Lawrenceville, IL?

[Andrew Zehner]

Are there any steel guitar players on this board who live near Lawrenceville, IL? I’m new to the lap steel but would love to find like-minded folks to learn from or jam with!

Andrew, I live in Champaign IL. which is a little more than 2 hours from you. There is a great Steel Guitar show the weekend after Easter in Mount Vernon IL. Its about 90 miles from you. It would be worth it to go if you can make it. Its mainly a pedal steel show but there are non pedal players there too. Here is a website with some info about it. Good luck finding a steel player in your area. http://www.southernillinoisproductions.org/
