Here is a quote from Deb Barker, GE Executive. “There’s been a lot of curiosity about me and my body double in the GE Capital/Taylor commercial. Marija Temo is phenomenal Flamenco player, and she was delighted to help us by capturing your imagination in that awesome riff (same technology as Avatar used to transpose my head on her body). Marija and I are hearing the commercial has inspired people to play – What’s better than that? Please keep supporting the Music industry, they need you – Peace!”
In Paraguay, I had one of the best artistic and personal experiences performing in Paraguay for the International Guitar Festival in Asuncion. See my facebook for photos.
Crossing into the Country World was a blast! Marija played “Toes in the Water” (Zac Brown’s Grammy award winning number). She presented an intro, and created a flamenco/classical adaptation to the piece. It came off great and people were asking Marija if she was going to make a country album;-)
American Song Writer Magazine covered the event, and mentioned “Brown proved the consummate master of ceremonies during the four-plus- hour affair, bringing out a cast of talent, including guitarist Marija Temo, Breaking Southern Ground artists Sonia Leigh, Nic Cowan and Levi Lowrey, Sarah Dugas of the Duhks and Atlanta singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins.“

Marija Temo recently returned from the Taylor Guitar Factory invited by Bob Taylor to be a part of his latest venture in learning to build a classical guitar. It was thrilling to watch he and his team build a classical guitar as well as apply Bob Taylor’s NT guitar neck to them. Pepe Romero Jr. was the luthier to help guide in the building process. Marija Temo and Pepe Romero Sr. played and checked out the different types of classical guitars built that week. Writer’s from Acousic Guitar Magazine also showed up and Marija was videod by them performing a few numbers. It was a wonderful week. Bob Taylor wrote about the experience and made some beautiful comments about Marija in his Taylor Guitar Blog. Also, check out some photos that will be posted soon on Marija’s Facebook Fan Page.
