DAMON FOWLER
Roots-blues guitar guru Damon Fowler's music is steeped with soul and representative of the many styles that make up the roots of American music. He has gained the respect of his peers given his featured slot in Allman Brothers alumni Butch Trucks Freight Train band and his side gig as guitarist in the Dickey Betts band. Critics have compared Fowler’s guitar work to Johnny Winter and Jeff Beck, while his slide guitar is reminiscent of the late Duane Allman. Fowler can play fiery guitar runs with the best of them, and his lyrical work on lap steel and dobro makes him a stand out performer among the legions of guitar heroes. His last release, Alafia Moon, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, spent four months in the Top 20, was nominated for a BMA and combines all the influences that have shaped his distinctive roots-blues career.
