Joe Walsh: Bio, Tour, Music, Live, Gear, Store.
From his early hits with the James Gang through to his tenure with the Eagles -- as well as a successful solo career -- Joe Walsh remained one of the most colorful characters in rock & roll, lending his distinctively reedy vocals, off-the-wall lyrics, and expansive guitar leads to a series of AOR staples including "Funk #49," "Rocky Mountain Way," and "Life's Been Good." Born November 20, 1947 in Wichita, KS, Walsh initially studied the oboe and clarinet, later playing bass in local bands the G-Clefs and the Nomads; while attending Kent State University, he finally picked up the guitar, fronting the collegiate combo the Measles from 1965 to 1969. He then joined the Cleveland-based hard rock trio the James Gang, appearing on their debut LP Yer' Album. The trio's 1970 album, The James Gang Rides Again, proved the group's commercial breakthrough, launching the FM radio favorite "Funk #49" and achieving gold status. While the follow-up, Thirds, was another success, yielding the classic "Walk Away," Walsh found the James Gang's power-trio format too confining and left the group soon after ...

5. steve laury
Steve Laury's Home of Contemporary Instrumental Guitar.
Born and raised in Vineland, NJ, Steve Laury picked up the guitar on a casual basis starting at the age of 9, but decided to seriously pursue the instrument, and a life in music, at 16. In his formative years, he found himself lured to the blues of B.B. King and the smooth groovin' guitar work of Wes Montgomery. Other artists who had a major influence on Laury in his early years were talents such as Herbie Hancock, George Benson, Pat Martino, Pat Metheny, Charlie Parker, and Chic Corea. Steve's music has also been heavily influenced by such Brazilian musicians as Carlos Jobim, Dori Caymni, Oscar Castro-Neves and L.A./Latin star Pancho Sanchez.
On the advice of a friend, young Steve Laury moved to Los Angeles to begin his professional musical career and immediately began playing with such notable musicians as bassist, Nathan East. It didn’t take long for other west coast musicians to realize Steve’s talents and after meeting Carl Evans (keyboards) and Mark Hunter (bass) they launched the popular band Fattburger. As a founding member of the San Diego based band, Laury became a central figure for the ground-breaking group ...
