"Guitarist to the Stars" Gary Tackett
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 Acoustic
and Blues. The skilled singer-songwriter and guitarist exemplifies a rare display of mastery in diverse genres.
Biography
The "Guitarist to the Stars"; Gary Tackett is an artist whose melodic journey has graced some of the
most iconic stages and resonated through various genres. 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.
Hailing from the heart of California, Gary Tackett's musical journey began at an early age. Raised amidst the Honky Tonks, where renowned bands such as Merle Haggard and Buck Owens roamed,
Tackett was immersed in a world of musical greatness. Fueled by curiosity and an innate passion, Tackett embarked on a musical odyssey that led him from the Central Valley to the vibrant hub of Los
Angeles and eventually to the illustrious stages of Nashville.
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, recording 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 pawn shop that would become a pivotal moment. Their instant connection led Tackett to become Currington's band leader, tour manager, and guitarist. Guiding Currington's early musical steps,
Tackett played a significant role in shaping the artists career. With an impressive career as both a performer and a visionary, Tackett's talents extend beyond the stage.
The 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 around 50 unrecorded 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 grace theaters nationwide and
mesmerize audiences at blues festivals and cruises worldwide, Tackett's vision transcends borders and
cultures, unifying hearts and minds with his craft.
