Before performing the title track to her most recent album Putting On Airs, Rae talked about her guitar, a 1976 Martin D-28.
The guitar was a gift from her father, who bought it new the year it came out. “I grew up hearing him play it, ” Rae says. “He and my mom played music growing up. It was very monumental to me that he would pass it on to me. It was a huge part of who I knew him to be.”
