Description
Rick Derringer's Official Website On-line store, tour dates, bibliography, discography, photos, music etc.
Young guitar great, vocalist and entertainer Rick Derringer was just 17 when his band "The McCoys" recorded the No.1 hit "Hang On Sloopy" in the summer of 1965, knocking "Yesterday" by The Beatles out of the top spot.
"The McCoys" had enjoyed four years of successful touring, when Rick merged his talents with Johnny Winter in 1969 forming "Johnny Winter And" ("And" referring to "The McCoys").
Rick was the only producer of all gold and platinum Winter Brothers recordings.
In '71 Rick was featured on three records, "Johnny Winter And", "Johnny Winter And-Live" and "Edgar Winter's White Trash". "And" featured the first version of Derringer's "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" which was also released as a single, then selected again for "And - Live".
Eventually the busy Derringer joined Edgar's White Trash full-time and produced the gold LP, "Roadwork". Derringer's solo album, "All American Boy" was released in '73 with the now already popular "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo", this time as a 'hit' single.
Rick was writer/producer of Johnny Winter's "Still Alive and Well" album and player/producer of the hit album, "They Only Come Out At Night". The latter featured the No. 1, Grammy nominated monster hit, "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride".
In 1976 Rick created the Derringer Band. He released four albums and in '83 returned to his solo career with the LP, "Good Dirty Fun".
Throughout the 70's and 80's the popular Derringer appeared on numerous albums with artists Alice Cooper, Richie Havens, Todd Rundgren and Steely Dan. The list also includes Cyndi Lauper, Barbra Streisand, Kiss, Mason Ruffner and Madam X.
In the mid-80's, Derringer discovered Weird Al Yancovic, producing music for Grammy-winning albums and videos. Derringer's productions of the Michael Jackson parodies, the No. 1 hit "Eat It", and "Who's Fat", have been Yancovic's most successful recordings.
It was also in the 90's that Rick was selected to be producer/writer/performer of the World Wrestling Federation LP's. Hulk Hogan's theme song, "I Am A Real American" was written and performed by Rick as a part of these projects.
Derringer was once again sought after by Edgar Winter and in 1990, performed for the LP, "Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer Live in Japan". Then in 1999 Rick and Edgar were back together again for their collaboration on his "Winter Blues" CD.
Derringer also recorded four blues CD's starting in '93 with "Back To the Blues" followed by "Electra Blues", "Blues Deluxe" and his 2000 release "Jackhammer Blues".
At about that same period Derringer, who seems to be constantly in motion, released his destined-to-be-classic "Tend the Fire" in Europe to rave reviews and is eagerly expected by his loyal fans here in the US ...

Lonnie Knight is a singer, guitarist and songwriter based in Minneapolis Minnesota. Lonnie's cds include Better Days, Cain's Blood, Big Shoes and Standing Around Until the End.
Lonnie Knight’s guitar playing alone has astonished nearly everyone who’s seen it happen during the past four decades, from his days in Jokers Wild to his role in the Hoopsnakes. It’s made him a multiple winner over the years for best guitarist at the Minnesota Music Awards.
Tall and thin, his presence while playing the guitar gives him the appearance of an authority looking down calmly on his six-string subject; but it's the actual sound from the instrument, the pure music he makes of the guitar, that confirms the authority.
His songwriting began with Jokers Wild, but over time it was refining itself to the folk-oriented work that anchored two Lonnie Knight albums in the 1970s. He was working as a studio musician at Herb Pilhofer's Sound 80 Recording Studio, and touring nationally on the Bitter End College Coffeehouse. Producer George Hanson took a liking to Knight's playing. Hanson produced his first album Family in the Wind, which was followed up with Song for a City Mouse. The title was an homage to the Mankato band in which Knight played for several years in the early 1970s. That relationship began when Knight was playing with the Chad Mitchell Group and met City Mouse founder Bill Steiner. Throughout the 70s, Knight continued a prolific career playing in studio and on stage ...

Jazz guitarist Dave Bernstein's website features music, cds, bios, electronic press kit.
Dave Bernstein was born in Queens, NYC and raised in Southern California. He began playing guitar in Blues bands while attending college at UC Santa Cruz (1980-1982). After taking a year off traveling and studying privately, he attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston from 1983 to 1986, graduating with a BA in music.
Since relocating to the SF Bay Area in 1987, Bernstein has shared the stage with many Blues and Jazz notables including Teddy Edwards, Herbie Lewis, Lazy Lester, Sammy Myers, William Clarke, Smokey Wilson, and Vince Wallace. In addition, he has led his own various Blues and Jazz combos and his noted "Blueriety" enterprise, "FLUFFER".
Make no mistake; Bernstein is a Jazz player to the bone. He cites Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and Wayne Shorter as major influences on his writing and playing. Though he possesses the fat, warm sound typical of Jazz guitar, he thinks and plays like a horn player ...

Official website of instrumental rock/metal guitarist julien carayon.It has streaming music, pictures, tablatures, free guitar lessons and covers almost everything you need to know about julien carayon.
My world is instrumental music, a world with no border as I play no specific music style in mind...only what I get with my instrument matter...
I have almost ten years of guitar playing in my fingers. I’m 99% self-taught (the remaining 1% is the very few instructional books I’ve bought so far)
Main influences :
Dream Theater - Liquid Tension Experiment -Planet X - Steve Vai - Joe Satriani, Pat Metheny - Jimmy Hendrix...Mike portnoy (for programming drum tracks )
Even though I’ve spent countless hours listening to these unique Maestros, I try to cultivate my own style, composing “non-80’s-style-shred music” and avoiding cliché ...

Marty Friedman has sold over 10 million albums with the multi-platinum band Megadeth. He has also a dedicated following for his own solo albums which stylistically range from orchestral soundtrack style music to furious aggressive rock, with the common thread being Marty`s unique and tasty sense of melody. His latest album is called `Music For Speeding` and it marks his solo debut with the heavy hitting major label Universal Japan as well as Steve Vai`s Favored Nations label in the US. Marty has toured the world several times over very successfully with Megadeth. Along with touring, he is in high demand to do music/guitar seminars and clinics all over the U.S., Asia, Europe and South America, which he has done hundreds to date. Marty is also a regular columnist for Guitar World magazine, Young Guitar magazine (Japan) and Burrn Magazine in which he writes a column in Japanese, a reader favorite. Marty has designed his own signature model guitar with Jackson Guitars (the KE-1) that has been selling consistently since it was put on the market. He has just begun an endorsement relationship with Ibanez. His new 'Marty Friedman model' guitar will make its world debut in Oct '05 at the Tokyo Music Show.
Along with doing his solo performances around the world, Marty is currently touring and recording with Japanese mega-star Aikawa Nanase.
Before joining Megadeth in Feb.1990, Marty was in a band called Cacophony, which released 2 albums (among their indie label's highest selling) and toured the U.S. and Japan. This band highlighted the potent guitar playing of Marty and fellow guitarist Jason Becker (who was to join David Lee Roth's band and record an album with him in 1990). Marty has received extremely high acclaim and many awards around the world for his unmistakably `Marty-esque` way of playing the guitar.
Marty is from Washington D.C. originally but has lived in many places including Hawaii, Germany and California, giving him an odd and interesting approach to making his music. He currently resides in Tokyo.
CAREER POINTS
Received 27 gold and platinum records from around the world
Received 5 Grammy nominations
Headlined 'Rock in Rio' in front of 140,000 in Brazil
Sold out Madison Square Garden (along with many other venues) on the 'Clash of the Titans' Tour

Japan`s most popular daytime TV show, `Waratte Iitomo` as well as `Love Love Aishiteiru`, 'Music Fair', 'Pop Jam' and 'Yume no Ongakukan'.
Megadeth does a sold out stadium tour of Europe with Metallica
