The night Laid Back’s high school classmates went on their senior trip, he
played his first professional bar gig. It was not his first show, as he had played bass
in local bluegrass bands, but it opened the door to smoky bars and honky
-
tonk
survival. Over
the years he went on perform and record with many well
-
known
artist, often uncredited, as was the Nashville way.
He has played with everyone from the Georgia Satellites to the Kentucky
Headhunters. Opening for Thin Lizzy and The Guess Who, recording at
Johnny
Cash’s studio as well as the now defunct Butcher Shoppe in Nashville (owned by
John Prince and Sturgill Simpson) Laid Back has seen some things. LB served as a
mentor to a young Tyler Childers, who now has Laid Back signed on his Hickman
Holler labe
l. Mr. Childers has made several films with LB and included him in his
music videos, as well as having him open a CD release show in New York City
and open his sets at the Ryman Auditorium and Red Rocks Amphitheater.
Over the years Laid Back has honed hi
s craft and played simply for the love
of the music. His no rules approach to musical performance flies in the face of
those who prefer their music to fit neatly into category. Equal parts Led Zeppelin,
Waylon Jennings, Stanley Brothers, David Bowie and M
otorhead, and that’s just
the beginning. Laid Back is a product of the 1970s when lines were often blurred.
He doesn’t care what you call it, he just wants you to feel it. Attentive to the
audience and ready for conversation, a Laid Back show is an interac
tive lesson on
music, pop culture and whatever else is on his mind that day.
Whether he is playing with his full band or grinding out heavy guitar riffs
with his companion Honey on drums in the White Stirpes inspired duo, you leave
the concert knowing yo
u have seen a show. There will be a meet and greet and
Laid Back will stand and talk until everyone is satisfied. Because it’s not just about
playing songs to an audience, it’s about a shared experience with his fellow man.
Laid Back’s mantra is “playing c
ountry music and treating people right”. He
strives to uphold that pledge every night.
