He is one of only a handful of modern day rock musicians with both chops and talent. His playing style is simplistic, tasty and big, just my type of guitar player.

Stevie Wonder's visit last night to the Santa Barbara Bowl was fun albeit a little dull. His band took a few songs to get their ... http://streethound.com/blog/2007/08/29/stevie-wonder-plays-the-santa-barbara-bowl/ Wilco played an epic show at the Santa Barbara Bowl last night. Rolling through a 2 hour set with the maturity and musicianship that only comes from years and years of being on the road.
