BIO:
House-Rocking Roadhouse Guitar Driven Powerhouse !
Influenced by the powerful Electric and Acoustic work of Eric Clapton as well as the heartfelt songwriting of Merle Haggard, Gary Tackett has made a name for himself in the world of Blues, Rock, and Country. This skilled singer-songwriter and guitarist exemplifies a rare display of mastery across all genres.
The "Guitarist to the Stars"; Gary Tackett is an artist whose melodic journey has graced some of the most iconic stages from the Oakland Coliseum to the Grand Ole Opry, sharing the stage with Keith Urban. George Strait, Alan Jackson, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Lowell Fulson, Phillip Walker,
With an impressive portfolio and a style that melds the Coolness of Austin, the Twang of Bakersfield, the Soul of Memphis, and the Style of Nashville, Tackett's music is a blend of evocative storytelling and virtuosic guitar performances.
Tackett's guitar-driven rockin roadhouse blues/R&B style is a sonic marvel that captures the essence of legends like David Lindley, Joe Walsh, and Duane Allman.
His extraordinary slide playing, reminiscent of Lindley's finesse, adds a dynamic layer to his musical canvas.
In 1989, Tackett realized a dream, getting his name on a Merle Haggard record, playing guitar on the "Blue Jungle" album alongside the iconic Merle Haggard and the Strangers.
From session work to touring, Tackett's journey took a compelling twist when he joined country superstar Vern Gosdin's ensemble, a recommendation made by none other than Merle Haggard. This marked the beginning of Tackett's Nashville chapter, which would see him perform with renowned names like Eddy Raven and the remarkable Tammy Cochran.
However, it was Tackett's meeting with a promising singer named Billy Currington in a Gallatin TN pawn shop that would become a pivotal moment. Their instant connection led Tackett to become Currington's band leader, tour manager, and guitarist up until 2004.
With an impressive career as both a performer and a visionary, Tackett's talents extend beyond the stage.
This seasoned artist is the mastermind behind innovative musical instrument accessories, including the D-Slyde, a unique half-round D-shaped guitar slide licensed to D'Addario.
As a prolific songwriter, with a catalog of over 100+ songs, Gary Tackett sets his sights on new horizons, with a long-term goal to share his songwriting and guitar playing with the world. Aiming to mesmerize audiences at theatres, festivals, fairs, concerts, and cruises worldwide. Tackett's vision transcends borders and cultures, unifying hearts and minds with his craft.
