The Rex Carroll Band
Country: United States of America
Genre: Hard Rock/Blues Rock
Like a lumbering freight train, The Rex Carroll Band got started slowly (they have been playing live shows since 2004) following the success of 80's Christian metal legends, Whitecross, where Rex established himself as a guitar virtuoso of epic proportions (2 Dove Awards and 5 consecutive HM Readers Guitar Hero Awards). But, Rex grew up in the 70's rock scene where he was profoundly influenced by blues and southern rock standouts like The Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix. This band features Rex's cutting edge southern-fried and bluesy fret work, with a dash of the hard rock and metal vibe that made him famous back in the day.
