Gerry Rice on guitars as Stevie Van Zant and Nils

Gerry Rice is a lead guitarist with over 40 years in the industry.

He played in his first Showband at the tender age of 16 and has played in dozens of bands since. Gerry was surrounded by music growing up and listened to everything from Country to Rock.  His brothers are all multi-instrumentalists.   They would jam together in their converted garage and on quite a few occasions this led to impromptu concerts for the lucky locals. Gerry has been a fan of Nils Lofgren since he first heard 'Shine Silently'.  Gerry says "Nils is a great guitarist. I love his style and his tone and want to bring Nils to the show"   Tasty licks played where and when they’re needed!
