Snowden, who lives in Marietta, Ga., has constructed and sold over 1400 cigar box guitars to music enthusiasts all over the world, including such celebrities as actor Jeff Daniels, Kristan Bush of Sugarland, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and Ozzy Osborne, who visited Snowden’s workshop in March to film a segment on cigar box guitars that will air on A&E’s “Ozzy and Jack’s World Detour” reality show in the fall.
He has been featured on CNN and the Charles Osgood CBS radio show and is considered one of the leading figures in the resurgence of interest in cigar box guitars.
Snowden has recorded six CDs of his original music. His sixth album, entitled “Southern Cigar Box Guitar Thunder,” will be released on July 21.
An article in “Cigar Aficionado Magazine” affirmed that “Snowden makes serious music come out of his instruments.”
He will perform at 2 and 5:30 pm on the West Stage of the NSU Coliseum and at 3 pm on the Main Stage.
