Hello everyone, Big thanks to Fender Nashville for including me as a featured artist last night at the Ryman for the sold out 75th anniversary celebration of the Telecaster guitar. I was proud to be there with many old friends. There are enough badass guitar slingers in this town to keep an event like this going for days so I’m always happy to be on the short list. In lieu of one of my more self-indulgent original pieces, I thought it would be fun to share the stage with my dear friend, John Oates for our rendition of Percy Mayfield’s classic tune “Send Me Somebody To Love” from 1950.. around the same time the Telecaster came out. It is always a distinct pleasure to hang with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, Ricky Skaggs, Billy Gibbons, Oates, James Burton and Brent Mason. The adventure continues! Thank you so much, friends.
