Mike Ingold is a goddamn utility knife in the Tampa music scene toolbox, and after 20 years in the field of art and design, the musician, professor and manager of University of Tampa’s 3D Fabrication Studio is finally starting his own company that designs and builds bespoke guitars for discerning musicians.

To get Ingold Audio out of the woodshed, he’s tapped a dynamic cross section of the local rock scene—glam favorite Roxx Revolt & the Velvets, post-rock instrumental outfit Gullwing, and blue collar Americana band Former Contenders—to play a free concert at Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Friday, Jan. 13 where Ingold’s guitars will also be on display.

“These guitars know exactly what they are. They are an exercise in minimalist design and built to last through the rapture” Shawn Kyle, Bay area songwriter and talent buyer at St. Pete’s Floridian Social, said.
