"Guitarist to the Stars" Gary Tackett has played every stage from the Oakland Coliseum to the Grand Ole Opry.
Gary's style is pure Guitar Driven Rockin' Roadhouse Blues/R&B with the Coolness Of Austin, the Twang Of Bakersfield, the Soul of Memphis, and the Style of Nashville. His acrobatic style of guitar playing was influenced by all of the greats from every genre! He even invented the D-Slyde and licensed it to D'Addario/Planet Waves! You'll hear the David Lindley/Joe Walsh/Duane Allman influence in his incredible slide playing as well.
A road dog since the age of 16, Gary first toured with bands through Canada, before moving to Los Angeles in the late 80's, the San Francisco Bay Area, then on to Nashville TN as a session and touring guitarist for over 15 years.
In 1989, He recorded the "Blue Jungle" album with Merle Haggard and the Strangers at Merle's studio in N. California.
"That was my dream come true, to get my name on a Merle Haggard record"...says Gary.
Gary moved to Nashville in 1992 and began touring with Billy Currington (Band Leader/Tour Manager), Vern Gosdin, Eddy Raven, Tammy Cochran, Antsy McClain and many more.

SUPERGROUP SIDE PROJECT - SMOKE ON THE WATER
20 years in the making!
These musicians met in the Bay Area over 25 years ago, and they each have made their mark in the music industry. From playing local venues to stadiums and touring the world, Smoke On The Water was an idea that Gary Tackett had to bring his friends back together for a performance at the Sapphire Room in Boise Idaho April 19th and 20th. Smoke on the Water features 11 TIme Grammy Winner and former lead singer for Santana Tony Lindsay, Myron Dove (Bassist for Santana, Robben Ford, Montrose, Gatemouth Brown), Tom Politzer(Tenor Sax for Tower Of Power), Brian Collier (Drummer for Con Funk Shun, Lionel Ritchie, Too Short), Gary Tackett (Guitarist for Merle Haggard, Billy Currington).
This supergroup will be doing some one off shows in 2023 and beyond!
