The Bridgewater Blues Band |
I started playing guitar when I was 15 years old. I'd been fascinated by the sound since I first heard Brian May play on Queen's albums when I was 8 years old. I got into the blues a few years later, first hearing Hendrix, then discovering Stevie Ray Vaughan, which led me to discover a wide range of blues artists. I have been in several bands for years, and went to music college for five years. I am a regular performer at the Beale Street Music Festival on Beale Street, Memphis, USA.
