In age they are separated by nearly 40 years, but nationally renowned fingerstyle guitarists John Standefer and Brooks Robertson call themselves “two peas in a pod.” "There is a synergy there," Standefer said. Both had been annually attending and performing at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Conference in Nashville for years, but they never spoke much until this past summer. Realizing they only lived minutes apart, Standefer in Orchards and Robertson in Portland, they vowed to get together after returning home.
