Christmas in Prison

Jailhouse Guitar Willie is an acoustic guitar duo consisting of Dennis Sobin and Steve Andrew. Even though Dennis was released from prison in 2003, while Steve remains there, their music lives. Dennis has vowed to continue to play and record on his own, pending the release of his friend and partner Steve. In this Christmas in Prison CD, Dennis recorded both his part and Steve’s. He has several other recording projects in the works in which he will similarly record both duet parts. Dennis currently serves as spokesperson for the Prisons Foundation, which seeks to reduce the length of incarceration for prisoners, change laws that incarcerate victimless offenders (like his partner Steve who got 14 years) and promote the arts and education behind bars.
