Nick Petta/CPS Studios

Originally From Boston, Ma...I started playing guitar in bars and clubs at the age of 15. Throughout the following years, I toured with some of the biggest names in the industry playing along side the likes of Jimmy Hendrix, Joey Dee, The Shirelles, The Drifters, Stevie Wonder and far to many to mention here. I participated in many recording sessions with various groups throughout Nashville, New York, Boston, Atlanta and Tampa playing Blues, Jazz, R&B, Rock and Country. In 1977 with my band Avalanche, we enjoyed a #1 Disco hit,(Mister Boogie Man) I finally settled in Alabama in 1978 and hooked up with Jimmy Ellis(Orion)then with Boblo Records and later with Sun Records, as his Music Director and guitar player. In Dec. of 1989 while working with an electric saw, I had a terrible accident on my chord hand,(left) that robbed of my index finger, part of my thumb and damaged my middle finger to where it does'nt bend much. At that time in my life, I thought my playing days were over!! After a 10 year period of time of not playing the guitar at all, I started to work in a music store in Birmingham, Al. Working in that enviroment stimulated my love for music and with the encouragement of many of the people working there and the persistance of my new wife, I started to pick again, slowly but surely being covinced that there was a future for my music. Now I play 3 to 4 nights every week with II DA MAXX band.
