Jesse McGuire, Kicks-off NAIC Conference in Phoenix

Dr. Jesse McGuire

Phoenix, AZ – Award-winning trumpeter, Dr. Jesse McGuire, is always at-home with the National Anthem and this particular performance was a supreme rendition! Dr. McGuire raised goosebumps among the commissioners, legislators, directors and attendees with his moving performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the opening session of the NAIC Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. What a fantastic way to start a corporate event!

Throughout the years, McGuire has had the honor and privilege of performing for three U.S. presidents and at many major sporting events – most notably the 2000 Daytona 500, Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, and the 2014 NFL Playoff game between the Panthers and the 49ers. Jesse’s resume reads like a Who’s Who of soul, gospel, and rhythm and blues. Jessie McGuire has toured and recorded with some of the world’s biggest musicians, including Elton John, Paul Simon, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Tower of Power, Wynton Marsalis, Seal and Hootie and the Blowfish.

Even after performing for three presidents (Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush), playing at the Carnegie Hall and touring all over the world, McGuire said there are still two things that remain on his bucket list: opening for the Rolling Stones and performing at the Super Bowl!

“Nothing else carries the clout, the hype and the universal exposure that the Super Bowl does,” he said. “Now, regarding the Rolling Stones? I just think it would be a blast to open a Stones concert. I would love to do a rock concert, and it doesn’t get any bigger than the Stones! I’d blow the roof off the stadium!”

No doubt you surely would, Jesse McGuire!

Nashville’s William Tyler

William Tyler - 2014 Best Instrumentalist in Nashville

William Tyler performing in Nashville

Nashville, TN – While in Nashville last week on a two-day promo shoot for prominent Philadelphia blues guitarist, Mark Kormanik, I was introduced to another American guitar sensation – William Tyler. To say his style is vibey and eclectic is quite an understatement. To quote Rolling Stone Magazine, “William Tyler may be a born-and-bred Nashvillian, but his cosmic guitar stylings extend way beyond the Grand Ole Opry. His incandescent, resonant finger picking might evoke a modal Indian raga one moment, an Appalachian folk drone the next, or even celestial Eno-esque ambience – all within one song.” Or as Tyler explains, “What I do exists in this in-between sphere of experimental avant-garde and pop music…”

2014 has been a good year musically for William Tyler – being selected as one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Young Guns” (most notable guitarists from the next generation of six-string legends) and one of RS’s, “10 New Artists You Need to Know”.  Additionally, Tyler was voted Nashville’s “Best Instrumentalist” for 2014. Checkout his masterful fingerpicking on his upcoming release, “Lost Colony“.
