Band Members:
Influences: I grew up on the blues (Freddie King, Johnny Winter, BB, Albert Collins, Albert King, SRV, Muddy, etc.), blues-rock, and 80's hard rock, so I guess that all is reflected in my playing a little bit. I also love old-school country (George Jones, Willie, Merle, Waylon, etc.), so I have some good solid country roots in me too. But, as for my rock playing, my main guitar heroes are primarily wailin' Les Paul slingers who have some blues influence & soul in their playing - i.e., John Sykes (Whitesnake, Blue Murder, etc.), Zakk Wylde, Joe Bonamassa, Slash, Warren Haynes, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, Gary Moore, etc. I also grew up listening to guys like Hendrix, SRV, Clapton, Angus Young, Randy Rhoades, Kirk Hammett, etc. too, so they were all a big influence too
Sounds Like: I try to get some sounds, tones, etc. similar to John Sykes, Zakk Wylde, Warren Haynes, Slash, Joe Bonamassa, etc. - see influences above. Those are my main guys.
Record Label: none
