Band Members: HeXx Henderson and an everchanging line up of nefarious and notorious characters.
Influences: HeXx Henderson began his musical career on the lap steel, which he received for Christmas when he was 13. HeXx also learned the pedal steel, electric bass, and standup bass. By the age of 16 he was already playing Western Swing professionally.
Great lap steel guitar players like Leon McAuliffe, Santo and Johnny, Buddy Emmons, Alvino Ray, & Little Roy Wiggins were a big influence on HeXx. Rock Guitar Heros like Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, Rory Gallagher, Robin Trower, Roy Buchanan, Frank Marino, Jeff Beck, the Ventures, and Lonny Mac also made a tremendous impact.
Pioneering lap steel blues players Hop Wilson and Freddy Roulette also made a huge impression on HeXx.
HeXx Henderson is a virtuoso at blending these diverse components, taking bits and pieces from generations of talented players and decades of fantastic songs, along with his original music and distinctive style, to construct a unique sound, fully utilizing the amazing capabilities of the lap steel guitar.
