Jamie is an accomplished finger-style guitarist now living in Portland. She is in demand both as a performer and instructor and has received some great reviews:

 “Mixing up genres without pretension, the nimble Stillway moves freely with wit and creative restlessness.” Jazz Times 
“Cerebral jazz with blues roots and humor. Instrumental guitar at its best.” The Oregonian

March 2016 Newsletter

Dear Friends of the Corvallis Guitar Society,
Thank you to those who turned out for the last meeting of the Guitar Society on March 7th. We had a lot of fun entertaining ourselves with some good ensemble pieces (I detect some real progress here) and a solid open stage session. Anne echoed the strains of the ensemble’s rendition of Santa Lucia by performing it beautifully on the smallest guitar we have seen to date 🙂
