"Guitarist to the Stars" Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist- Gary Tackett has played every stage from the Oakland Coliseum to the Grand Ole Opry. Former Guitarist for Merle Haggard, Billy Currington, Vern Gosdin, Eddy Raven, Tammy Cochran, Antsy McClain and many more. Gary now resides in the beautiful state of Idaho!
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- Rock, Blues, Country & R&B! You'll hear the David Lindley/Joe Walsh/Duane Allman influence in his incredible slide playing as well.
"My parents played all of the Honky Tonks in the Central Valley of California from Bakersfield to Sacramento, and had players from Merle Haggard's and Buck Owens' bands playing with them". "There were always great musicians at our house(Roy Nichols and his brothers Jimmy and Gene, Don Rich, Wynn Stewart), so I was the kid saying "show me that".
From the Central Valley to Los Angeles in the early 80's to the Bay Area for his first house band gig at the famous Saddle Rack (California Cowboys/Diablo Road) in San Jose/Fremont California, then on to Nashville TN in 1992 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.
While in Nashville, Gary toured 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 II-April 26-27
20 years in the making!
SMOKE ON THE WATER I-
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!
SMOKE ON THE WATER PART II(April 26-27th 2023)- For this special event, I'm bringing back Tony Lindsay, Myron Dove, along with Walfredo Reyes Jr(Drummer for Chicago / Santana / Steve Winwood / Lindsay Buckingham / David Lindley), and Eamonn Flynn (Keys for The Commitments / Michael Franti & Spearhead). Tickets go on sale Monday Feb 6th 2023 10am.
