20+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
With over two decades of hands-on experience touring the US and now the UK, I've had the pleasure of working with some huge names.
WEST BROOK
My life's work has been immersed in music. I grew up in Florida, was taught by Tampa Guitar Legend Eddie Wright, and had access to a sea of first-class musicians. Some of the people I've played with over the years include Warren Haynes, Oteil Burbridge, Luther Dickinson, Cody Dickinson, Amy Helm, Brandon (Taz) Niederauer, Johnny Highland, Josh Smith, Roosevelt Collier, Dickie Betts, Daniel Donato, Tad Benoit, and Joe Diffie.
My style is diverse: from Southern rock to swamp blues, East Coast Funk to finger pickin' Punkgrass, Southern Soul to British classic rock, you name it, I've played it and loved every minute.
"Playing music with West Brook is a beautiful experience. His connection to the source is evident in his playing, and he brings others with him. His licks are pure emotion." Mel is the daughter of Butch Trucks of the Allman Brothers and cousin to Derek Trucks. She tours the US.
"Westbrook has provided countless inspiration to so many songs we have written and endless epic solos on any instrument he plays. With that said we are very grateful to have had Westbrook Slide Guitar on our latest album “Live at Intuition Bier Hall”!!!" Dave Smith, Firewater Tent Revival.
"Creating and recording parts with West is a natural and intuitive process. It's easy to connect with his flow and just let the music evolve over a few takes. No extensive discussion needed. Collaborating this way is very enjoyable and satisfying; maybe West is part Vulcan and has mastered the Mind Meld!" Philip Pan, Violinist, Concertmaster Jacksonville Symphony 1984-2017
"When I began writing my freshman album “Around the Bend”, I knew immediately 3 things it required. Authenticity, emotion, and bluesy southern licks by none other than West Brook. Recording a record is hard work. Having West in the studio, made it feel like quite the opposite. His love for the music and sound made way for a palette of beautiful motifs that soothed their way into the mix effortlessly. West is poised in his craft, humbly masterful. He brought his authenticity, emotion, and tasty slide guitar licks into what will forever remain one of my greatest legacies. A massive thank you to West, for all he does to procure a positive mindset and a heavy creative flow that inspires me to keep writing songs!" Rett Wicker, Solo Artist.
