"Guitar For Dummies" , My Mom and Dad, My Family, Eddy Shaver, Will Ray, George Creech, Danny Gatton, Roger Eaton, Duane Allman, Warren Haynes, Mel Bay, Django Rheinhart, Ray Flacke, Tony Rice, David Grissom, Jerry Reed, Jimi's teeth, anyone who I have robbed a riff from! Don't worry, I give credit where it's due.
Make it Happen! When I want to do something, I find a way to do it. I grew up in Tifton, GA and I miss that place alot. I love to go home to see my family. I finished college at the University of Georgia and moved to Nashville, TN. Why did I move to Nashville? As Anthony Smith (who is one of my favorite song writers) stated, "Blame it all on Lynard Skynard." I spend most of my time working with an artist named Brandi Thornton. To me her voice is a breath of fresh air to country music. I play as a hired guitarist for many other artists in Nashville as well as manage a band called Dawgtown. I am also owner of Hunter Blake Productions. I provide sound reinforcement and engineering services for all types of events...........Ok enough business.........I'm a South Georgia Boy, I love Georgia Football, "Huntin' and Fishin" are my favorite past times. (that probably sounds country, well..) I enjoy playing the guitar with my friends on the front porch as much as I enjoy playing in front of 20,000 plus crowds. I'm a rocker at heart, but country music is my life story. I like all music. The words music and genre together mean nothing to me. It's music, it's art, I love it all. I think my mom for turning me on to music, and I think my dad for keeping the band trailer rolling. There is not a dent he can't fix! I want to think all of you who support me daily through the adventures in my music. "I don't make money in the music business, I make music in the money business". (Thanks PM) I could not have said it better! HC
