" Gary Myrick : Six-String Storyteller-From Texas Blues to New Wave Riffs"-Music History with Buzz Knight Jan 17, 2025

Show notes

Join @thebuzzknight as he delves into the guitar mastery of Gary Myrick, a versatile musician whose six- string prowess has left an indelible mark on the music industry. From his early days in Texas blues bands to his innovative new wave sound, Myrick's guitar work has consistently stood out for its distinctiveness and energy.

Gary's journey began in Dallas, where he honed his chops playing in local blues and roots-rock bands. His talent was evident early on, as he was chosen to replace none other than Stevie Ray Vaughan in the band Kracker Jack. This early exposure to Texas blues would continue to influence his playing style throughout his career.

Gary Myrick's guitar prowess continues to evolve, his recent EP, "The Sum of All My Sins" demonstrates his ongoing exploration of the instrument, blending his electric and acoustic skills with a deep understanding of blues and rock traditions.
