GUITARIST BRAD WILSON ROCKIN' THE BLUES ON TWO WHEELS NEWS
Southern California's Lighting Guitar
Ace, Brad Wilson, has completed over 75 tour dates with his
band in the first half of 2005 and is set to begin the next
series of shows.
Brad is a barnstorming regional favorite
and takes to the road with his power trio, playing songs from
his latest solo record while adding traditional blues tunes
from an upcoming release titled "Rockin' The Blues".
This year's Mid State Rally held in Paso
Robles on Labor Day weekend is the biggest and best Thunder
Bike rally in California. Brad will be performing on the main
stage at the fairgrounds September 3rd and 4th. If you're anywhere
near this wonderful Central California coast town, please come
by and see the show!
Touring to support his well received
self-titled solo record, this native Californian has played
nonstop, with a tour schedule that has him performing close
to two hundred shows a year! Wilson likes his job so much, he
refers to his schedule as "The Endless Tour."
This award-winning songwriter's musical
credits include songs on the NBC television show Passions, the
Saturn award-wining movie soundtrack, John Carpenter's Vampires
and lead guitar on the film soundtrack to Ghosts of Mars.
An instrumental on Brad's record called
"Crusin' The Coast" captures some brilliant guitar
work and has become the real life theme of touring along the
California coast.
This summer's shows have included The
Strawberry Festival in Arroyo Grande, The Joy Ride at the Irwindale
Speedway and the largest and best California motorcycle rally,
the above-mentioned Mid State Rally in Paso Robles, on Labor
Day weekend.
The coast is incredible, but Wilson is
quick to point out how much he enjoys every part of California
he visits.
Gigging in beach towns like Sunset Beach, Laguna Beach, Coronado
Island, Santa Barbara, Morro Bay and Avila Beach is amazing.
Scenic places like Solvang, Carpinteria and Venice are really
beautiful, and mountain towns like Lake Hughes, Ramona, San
Ysabel and Big Bear are green and wooded, yet close to the city.
The energy level in the heart of great cities like San Diego
and Los Angeles is exciting and fun. California's history is
everywhere, especially in a wonderful town like Arroyo Grande.
Brad's record is in all the California
indie music stores and you can also buy it online. Radio DJ's
around the world are playing many of the CD's songs on their
shows: "Rocket," "All Kinds Of A Fool,"
"Got the Feeling," "Sundown And The Cowboy,"
"Crusin' The Coast," "The Healer" and "Black
Coffee At Sunrise."
The hard driving schedule is paying off
both with new fans and opening the door for the next record.
When asked about all the traveling and playing shows so frequently,
Wilson responded "Meeting people and making new friends
is the most rewarding part of my job."
