01/14-17 – NAMM 2010/ANAHEIM
It was an incredible time at the NAMM 2010, where I showcased for the award-winning company ROCKBOX and music biz guru Chris Campbell (the Rockbox ‘Boiling Point’ pedal won the prestigious “Best in Class” by Premier Guitar Premier Gear Magazine). Along with Rockbox, I was honored to showcase for Pat Wilkins guitars, Toru Nittono guitars, and Mayonnes/Poland guitars. Studio ace Mark Creamer was on hand to provide expert advice, historic perspective and to jam at every turn. A ton of bad-ass musicians flocked to the booth to jam – Rob Marcello, Steve Travato, Tom Quayle, Jack G, Karl M Sweeney, Ben Lacy, Jeff Ganz, Joe Iaquinto, Kenny Cetera, Danny M, Robben Ford & Jerry Douglas band members - and on & on….freakin killer!

“The Lindsey Boullt Trio” was invited to perform at LA’s historic jazz-fusion venue, “The Baked Potato. Diz Dismore – dr. and Jason Muscat – bs. We had a great time with everyone that was there. We took chances musically and pretty much landed on our feet. Before the gig, and due to my nervous energy, Chuck let me practice in the famed woodshed that they have out back. It was a fun time.
Thanks to Alex Machacek, Justin Randi and everyone at The Baked Potato!
