Always on Tour
Derek Trucks is not only a great guitarist, he is also a very busy man. Not many artist could handle playing 365 concerts in a two year period with two different bands, but somehow he found a way. Derek’s rise to greatness began when he bought his first guitar at a garage as a child. He began touring at age 11 and formed his first band when he was only 12 years old. Years later, Trucks formed the Derek Trucks Band, a group that blends jazz, rock, blues, Latin and Indian music into one unique style. In 1999, Derek doubled his duties when he was offered the chance to join his boyhood idols, The Allman Brothers, as their slide guitarist, and he continues to play with them today. Joining Derek in the studio will be bassist Oteil Burbridge.

Biggest Little Comedian In The World
Reno Collier began his career in comedy like most comedians do, as a physical education teacher. Well, maybe there aren’t many other stories that begin like his, but it worked for Reno. Unable to support himself on a teacher’s salary alone, he began working nights as a bartender in a comedy club. Little did he know that one night he would discover his true calling after being called up on stage by comedian Anthony Clark. After that, Collier gave up the gym for the stage, and his whistle for a microphone. Collier recently appeared on the comedy based game show, National Lampoon’s Funny Money with Jimmy Pardo.

Cheap Trick Live from the Static Shack
After experimenting with different arrangements and band names guitarist Rick Nielsen, and bass player Tom Petersson combined with drummer Bun E. Carlos, and singer Robin Zander to form the classic rock band Cheap Trick, in 1977. Since then, Cheap Trick has been all over the music charts, released gold and platinum albums an, built large, loyal following and continue to put on one of the most entertaining and energetic live shows touring today. In fact, it was their live album, Budokan, that turned them into celebrities with their first top ten hit “I Want You to Want Me.” Cheap Trick carved out a niche for themselves by combining British guitar pop, heavy metal, punk, and a flair for the absurd. Their new album, Special One, was just released this July, and they’ll be playing old classic and new cuts when they perform on the BOB&TOM Show live from the Static Shack Studio.

Unpredictably Funny
Pat Godwin’s spontaneity on stage makes his routine a constant guessing game with a nice mix of standup and a little original music thrown in. The surprises just don’t stop, because when he does pick up his guitar, you'll have no idea which voice is going to come out or what he might decide to sing about. Two of his tunes were featured on BOB&TOM Gone Wild, including "Nobody Speaks English Anymore," and "The Legend of John Fox."

Lord Help Us
Lord Carrett sounds more like a late night infomercial vegetable slicer than a standup comedian, but put your credit cards away because he’s no kitchen accessory. Lord Carrett is the reigning “king” of comedy, and he promises that “Heads will Roll… with laughter” once he gets going. Carrett is very clever comedian and a master of misdirection whose punch lines seemingly come out of nowhere. While telling a story, or setting up a joke, Carrett brilliantly manages to keep you guessing as to where he’s headed, while at the same time charming you with a killer smile and the best hair in comedy.
