Photos of Special Guests at The Joint with the Waddy Wachtel Band Reviews with Photos of those artists at Waddy Wachtel Band gigs ------------------ Behind the scenes. Special recognition and thanks to those aren't up on the stage, but without whom the gigs couldn't "rock": John Philbrick - guitar tech. John is Waddy's right-hand man, and keeps all of Waddy's guitars (as well as the guitars of the other players) perfectly tuned and strung. That's a time-consuming job, but John is always right on the spot - he's been a guitar tech on tour for some major artists, and has been assisting Waddy in WWB since they started. --------------- ;void(0)) RIP Recognition:RICK ROSAS, aka Rick "The Bass Player" Rosas, stood off-handedly in the background with a warm grin while plucking away at those bass strings like a master. His talent has been recognized by performers who have been happy to get him to gig with them, such as Neil Young, Joe Walsh, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Buffalo Springfield, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ronnie Wood and others. Rick played with the Waddy Wachtel Band since its first gig in 2000. He will be missed by all. 9/10/49 - 11/6/14 | Special Guests Page 1 | Waddy Wachtel Band Reviews and News | About the Waddy Wachtel Band | Waddy Wachtel Band Videos | Brett Tuggle | Keith Allison | Waddy Wachtel Band Posters 2009 | Waddy Wachtel Band Posters 2010 | Waddy Wachtel Band Posters 2011 | Waddy Wachtel Band Posters 2012 | Waddy Wachtel Band Posters 2013 | Waddy Wachtel Band Posters 2014 | Waddy Wachtel Band Posters 2015 | Waddy Wachtel Band Posters 2016 | Waddy Wachtel Band Posters 2018 | | Return Home | Discography / Credits / Gigs / Songs | Articles / Interviews | Photos / Videos | Contact | Waddy Wachtel Band | Search | Mailing List | |
