Doctor Oakroot was born in a taxi with no brakes, and, he says, "I been rolling ever since. I rolled right down to Hell, pulled up the devil by his tail and brought back some dark, dark songs."

And he plays those songs on quirky guitars that he makes himself. "I have an inner conviction that I should make my own instruments. My grandma made her own dulcimer and I make my own guitars - it's a tradition."

Oakroot's guitars are decorated with pyrography (wood burning). He says, "I can't draw worth a damn, but I do it anyway." The designs inspire the names of his instruments - The Goblin, The Cyclops, The Weeping Goddess.

Folks get a big kick out of Oakroot's quirky creations whenever he plays... and an even bigger kick when he pulls out a very simple two string instrument, plays a couple of songs, and then gives the guitar to a lucky audience member - a regular feature of his shows.
