THe Roots
The idea for Twice Upon a String came about when I realized how many guitar strings my husband Cody (Chicago Farmer) was throwing away. He typically changes his strings every three shows and plays around 150 shows a year. This was adding up.
I started experimenting with jewelry, and in 2014, Twice Upon a String was born. In addition to my husband’s strings, I began reaching out to other artists we have connections with, and everyone I asked was happy to see their used strings turned into art, instead of ending up in a landfill.

The other piece of this puzzle has been the desire to give back to the community.
Since its inception, 20% funds music and art therapy programs for nonprofit organizations.
Since February 2014, donations and grants have benefited The McLean County Autism Society, St. Jude, The Baby Fold, Cunningham Children’s Home, Catalyst Farms residential home for women, Bluegrass Ambassadors, S.O.A.R. (Special Opportunities Available in Recreation), Pet Central Helps, and Project Onward.
