Ricky Reeves

A native of Boyd County, Ricky has 25+ years of experience working on musical instruments. After many troubled years working in various industries, he found his peace in music and the land around him. Inspired by the campfire stories of his youth, he started Foxfire & Ditchwater in a spare bedroom, with the goal of building beautiful, playable, and affordable instruments to help inspire players to "Be Loud!"
