This album is a collection of my favorite original Weissenborn instrumentals. It's all my favorites collected in one place for your listening pleasure! A Weissenborn is an acoustic lap style slide guitar first invented around 1915. Instruments played on the album include an original 1927 Weissenborn, a baritone Weissenborn made by Richard Wilson of Australia, a very fancy style 4 Weissenborn by Richard Wilson, a style 4 Weissenborn made by Tony Francis of New Zealand, also, just for good measure, a 1942 Oahu squareneck and a Beard dobro. Chirag Gokani plays bass guitar on the last two songs.

Riding the Waves

Stephen Houpt

This is an instrumental album. My aim was to create music that is soothing and meditative but also innovative. I think I accomplished that. Most of the tracks are played on either a 1927 Weissenborn or a 1942 Oahu squareneck through a 1957 Gibson GA-20 amp. Two tracks are acoustic only, played on a Regal Dobro.

Light on the Mountain

Stephen Houpt & Chirag Gokani

Our style is somewhere between singer/songwriter and new age, featuring acoustic lap steel slide guitar, bass, and vocals.

These are original songs about searching, joy, nature, and love. I play Weissenborn acoustic lap steel slide guitar and sing. Chirag plays bass guitar and piano (on one track) and sings on three tracks.
