Members tim gueguen Posted March 25, 2010 Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 Friend of Danny Gatton, and there's stuff available of a late '80s gig of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted March 25, 2010 Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 I used to see him fairly often when I lived in DC. It's been a while though. He went from a Tele Chickn picker to a Strat blues guy. He's decent. If you like guitar blues, you should like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vintage clubber Posted March 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2010 Great show. Awesome guitar player and very down to earth guy. I took the album cover from his very first release "Smokin'" with me and he signed it. I chatted with him about his gear between sets. He used an old Fender Vibrolux amp that just had tones to die for! He used a strat and a tele. His chicken pickin' tele technique is right up there with his late friends, Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanon who were also both from the DC area. Bought a copy of his most recent cd, "Raising the Roof" and he thru in a DVD for free! Added bonus was his current drummer was former Nighthawk, Pete Ragusa. check out his website: http://www.tomprincipato.com If he is coming to a venue near you, I highly recommend checking him out!

I gotta say on some of the tele based tunes he was playing, if I had closed my eyes I wouldn't have known it wasn't Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
