Dave Illig, Jazz Guitarist:
Welcome to our web site. Both David Illig and Stephanie Illig play guitar but their styles are very different. Hopefully after you spend some time on the site you will get to know them and their music. We hope you enjoy it.
Stephanie is 18 years old and has been playing since the age of 7. Her interests run toward a unique solo acoustic genre. We will be updating her page regularly with some of her solo tunes.
David Illig played professionally for many years. After being hired by a major airline he put the guitar away for 12 years. A visit from some friends from his playing days motivated him to start playing again ...

Bonnie Raitt:
More than just a best-selling artist, respected guitarist, expressive singer, and accomplished songwriter, Bonnie Raitt has become an institution in American music. The release of Souls Alike, her eighteenth album, marks yet another brave, exhilarating step in a legendary body of work.
Born to a musical family, the nine-time Grammy winner is the daughter of celebrated Broadway singer John Raitt (Carousel, Oklahoma!, The Pajama Game) and accomplished pianist/singer Marge Goddard. She was raised in Los Angeles in a climate of respect for the arts, Quaker traditions, and a commitment to social activism. A Stella guitar given to her as a Christmas present launched Bonnie on her creative journey at the age of eight. While
growing up, though passionate about music from the start, she never considered that it would play a greater role than as one of her many growing interests.
In the late '60s, restless in Los Angeles, she moved east to Cambridge, Massachusetts. As a Harvard/Radcliffe student majoring in Social Relations and African Studies, she attended classes and immersed herself in the city's turbulent cultural and political activities. "I couldn't wait to get back to where there were folkies and the antiwar and civil rights movements," she says. "There were so many great music and political scenes going on in the late '60s in
Cambridge." Also, she adds, with a laugh, "the ratio of guys to girls at Harvard was four to one, so all of those things were playing in my mind" ...

Born in upstate New York, Joe Bonamassa started playing on a short scale Chiquita guitar at the age of four, graduating to a full-scale guitar at seven. By the time he was 8, Joe was playing the blues like a veteran. “Stevie Ray Vaughn was a huge influence in my early days,” says Bonamassa, “but not my only one. I was influenced by all the great blues masters – Duke Robillard, Danny Gatton, Eric Clapton, and Robben Ford were all musicians I gravitated towards. I just naturally loved the blues and the seductive sound of the Stratocaster.”
At ten, Joe was performing locally, and at twelve, he was asked to open for B.B. King. After the performance, King would say, “This kid’s potential is so great that he hasn’t begun to scratch the surface. He’s one of a kind….a legend before his time.” The Father of the Blues’ high regard for Joe would be echoed by the guitar greats who would later perform with Bonamassa, including Buddy Guy, Danny Gatton, Robert Cray and Stephen Stills.
In the following two years, Joe established such a name for himself that Fender Guitars invited him to California to participate in a tribute to the company's founding father, Leo Fender, in a line-up that included Robben Ford, whom Joe cites as a major inspiration and "one of my favorite guitar players of all time."
While on the West Coast, Joe also met the musician who became the nucleus of the band that would start him on the road to international recognition. "While I was out there, I met Berry Oakley, Jr. [son of legendary Allman Brothers bassist]. It turned out that the sons of famous musicians knew other sons of famous musicians, so he was lifelong friends with Waylon Krieger, who is Robby Krieger's [Doors guitarist] son, and Waylon Krieger knew Erin Davis, who is Miles Davis' son, who is a drummer," says Joe ...

Best known as the founder and leading guitarist of the Dire Straits rock band, Mark Knopfler has also dedicated himself to an equally successful solo career.
He worked as a journalist and a teacher before the Dire Straits creation. In 1978 the band released their first album Dire Straits and one year later there was the second album Comunique. The band's next albums, Making Movies (1980) and Love Over Gold (1982) featured hits Tunnel Of Love, Romeo And Juliet, Telegraph Road and Private Investigation. In 1985 Dire Straits released Brothers in Arms, one of the best selling albums at all times. The 'Live in 85/86' tour saw Dire Straits play 234 shows in twelve months to combined audiences of about 2.5 million. Dire Straits did a total of three concerts for the Prince's Trust. They appeared at the Live Aid Concert (1985) and the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Concert (1988)
In 1983 Knopfler started a parallel solo career with David Puttnam's film Local Hero. Further film work included soundtracks to Cal, Comfort And Joy and The Princess Bride ...
