Who's Pro?
Who's Pro?
Lloyd Green...
Lloyd Green 0001 is our first Show Pro bearing the name of "The Lloyd
Green" model. It seemed fitting that Lloyd have the 1st Show Pro; since it
was in part inspired by him. "A vintage look and classic sound with the
accuracy and tuning of today's modern mechanics."
Since receiving his Show Pro, Lloyd has appeared with Jeff Bates on
"Grand Ole Opry Live". He has also recorded Show Pro 0001 with Charlie
Pride, Chely Wright, Gene Watson, Crystal Gayle and Daryle Singletary to
name a few. Thanks to Lloyd the demand for this model has been
tremendous.
Steve Hinson...
After hearing about the Show Pro design, Steve was on board before the
1st Show Pro was built, and was the 1st order placed. Steve has toured
with George Jones, Ray Price, Dolly Parton, John Conlee, Vern Gosdin,
and Carl & Pearl Butler to name a few. Steve has also been with Randy
Travis for 13 years. He is one of Nashville's top session players now and
has recorded with such artists as Josh Turner, Kenny Chesney, Trace
Adkins and Keith Anderson.
Russ Pahl...
The most unconventional steel player in Nashville and much sought after.
Russ's first Show Pro was a custom Double Neck Show Pro with multiple
pickups and dual scale necks for alternate tunings which has producers
asking for the Show Pro by name.
A second Show Pro Russ Pahl project was recently completed . This guitar
is a 25"scale with two neck pickups, spaced to the same specifications as
the Gibson SG guitar. The pickups are special windings from Jason Lollar.
The neck is a three piece laminate consisting of "rosewood, mahogany,
rosewood" layering. The keyhead is slotted for the neck to go through and
the roller nut block sits down directly on the neck. This design gave the
guitar a unique tone and is loud as a cannon with the heavier guage strings
tuned to Eb9th. Russ used the back ledge for the toggle switch, volume and
tone controls for blending of the two. This guitar was used on 15 sessions
the first week he had it.
Some of the artists Russ has recorded with are John Mellencamp, Terri
Clark and Jo Dee Messina. Russ is currently touring with Vince Gill. Russ'
innovations are taking pedal steel to new places.
Dan Dugmore...
Linda Ronstadt's version of Blue Bayou with Dan's solo is legendary.
During that period of time Dan was a member of Linda's as well as James
Taylor's bands. After leaving the west coast in the early 90's Dan quickly
started to record with multiple artists such as Martina McBride, Deena
Carter, Toby Keith, Faith Hill, Gary Allan and the list goes on.
Kevin Post...
Kevin has been touring with Terri Clark as band leader for over 10 years.
Kevin plays many instruments, produces and records on many sessions.
Robby Turner...
Robby is a legend in the country music industry. Robby played several
instruments before he began playing pedal steel guitar and became an
endorsee for Sho-Bud at the age of 12. Robby has produced, recorded
with, and played with several artists during career; but he is probably best
known for touring with "The Highwaymen" and Waylon Jennings. Robby
also toured with the Dixie Chicks in 2003 during their "Top Of The World
Tour". You can currently catch Robbie on the road with Waylon's son
Shooter Jennings.
Robby has recorded with the following artists Gary Allan, Deryl Dodd,
Tanya Tucker, Pam Tillis, Travis Tritt, Sara Evans, Randy Travis, and Paul
Simon as well as Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson along with the Dixie
Chicks and many others.
