Wally Gator

About Me

Wally cut his musical teeth growing up in the Louisiana Delta near New Orleans. Picking up guitar after an injury that ended a promising athletic career, Wally toured everywhere, anywhere, and nowhere with everyone, anyone, and no one for years before settling in Houston via LA. Slide meister and blues aficionado, he will and has played slide with almost anything handed to him such as bottles. lipstick, fire extinguishers, ladies shoes(size 6.5), a keg, stools, chairs, live crawfish, a crab, mic stands, and..well you get the idea. He is currently working with the Guzzlers and his newest project, The Cones of Uncertainty featuring the amazing Lauren Wilde. A devotee of Line 6 gear, Wally is a graduate of Tulane University, New Orleans and Musicians Institute, Hollywood, Ca. so he ain't no dummy!! Enjoy the music and remember - "Life is hard, Hard is good, it's called Character, BE GRATEFUL!!"!(thanks to Brad Stine for that motto!)
