About the artist

Tommy Bolin

Tommy Bolin was a guitar virtuoso ahead of his time, blending elements of rock, blues, and jazz with unparalleled skill and finesse. Born in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1951, Bolin first made waves in the music scene as a member of the band Zephyr before gaining recognition as the lead guitarist for the James Gang and eventually Deep Purple. With his signature long hair and flashy stage presence, Bolin quickly became a fan favourite, known for his explosive solos and dynamic playing style. His 1975 solo album "Teaser" remains a cult classic, showcasing Bolin's songwriting chops and diverse musical influences. Despite his undeniable talent, Bolin's life was tragically cut short at the young age of 25 when he passed away in 1976 due to a drug overdose. His untimely death left a void in the music world, but his legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians to this day. Influenced by legendary artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck, Bolin carved out a unique niche for himself in the rock and roll pantheon. His innovative guitar work pushed boundaries and challenged conventions, earning him a devoted following of fans and fellow musicians alike. Whether shredding on a Fender Stratocaster or crooning a soulful ballad, Tommy Bolin's impact on the music industry is undeniable. His brief but unforgettable career serves as a testament to the power of raw talent and creative vision in an ever-evolving musical landscape. In the words of Bolin himself, "The only time I sing is when I'm so full of emotion that I can't do anything else." And boy, did he sing.
