GUITAR PLAYER WITH HOUSEHOLD NAME CREDITS SEEKS MORE COVER GIGS

Hendersonville TN

Description

I am a guitarist, producer, and musical director that has played live or recorded as the guitarist or musical director for greater than 40 gold and platinum award-winning artists. The Village Voice named me the “New York Guitar Guru” and I hear that Rolling Stone Magazine even called me “the best new guitar player in a decade,” but I have never actually read this article, so don’t quote me. You may own my recordings or have seen me on the Time-Life Video Series, VH-1, PBS, HBO, or Entertainment Tonight. You may have seen me live at venues ranging from Madison Square Garden to the America West Arena or Hartford Civic Center. You may have heard me with major rock and blues artists (not to mention a whole slew of famous 60’s acts and some R&B/disco stars of the late 70’s many years after their heyday). When I hit Nashville from New York in 2005, I was a hired guitar gun for Nashville Star (someone was needed that could rock, I was hired again for some work again the next year). After I completed my release of historical instrumental guitar music for Sony and played on the GuitarSlingers Tour (there is a video you might buy at Sam Ash or Guitar Center if there are any left, hopefully you won’t find me on YouTube or Vimeo, it is illegal). No country, start-ups, or originals. Otherwise, no gig is too large or too small if it is local and I don't mind limited rehearsal. Obviously, this isn't about work. After playing full-time in NYC for 17 years, and Nashville for 9 years, I moved to Southern California and did Disney Sessions and played with local cover bands (because I like playing live) but I moved back here to Nashville to semi-retire and enjoy no state income tax and a very easy lifestyle without having to work. www.joeysixstrings.com...
