Who is Steve
Wilson? Read the bio...
Steve Wilson, Sound Technician
Kentucky HeadHunters Band
Steve
started working on vacuum tube amps in the late 70s, when he played guitar
in a Louisville, KY regional rock band. After becoming a production
assistant for a concert promoter, he made some important contacts and
learned the business side of things. One of these contacts was Stevie Ray
Vaughan's (SRV) guitar tech.
Steve traveled on the road with SRV as his
amp/keyboard tech until Stevie's untimely death. Steve was the amp tech for
the 1990 Farm Aid concert, where he handled the rigs for John Mellencamp's
band, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Keifer, and others. He has reworked or serviced amps
for Marty Stewart, The Black Crowes, Scott Holt (Buddy Guy band),
Cinderella, The Kentucky HeadHunters, John Hiatt, Lyle Lovett, and many
more.
He has designed a product, used on all these
amps, called the Bias King. Steve owns Ambient Sound in Louisville, KY and
still works on amps from all over the world. He can very often be found
cavorting across the continent with the Kentucky HeadHunters (providing
there's not a hamfest going on) as their live sound mixer and DVD movie
supplier.
