  • Bio

    Visit Will's YouTube page! http://www.youtube.com/johnbohnam223 Will Tucker was raised on blues and southern rock in Memphis, Tennessee. He was playing drums at age five, piano at eight, and guitar at age twelve. Little did he know that in the summer of 2008 when he performed at the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi that he would soon be a regular at nationally renowned BB King's Blues Club. Will was discovered by Memphis BB King's Blues Club owner, Tommy Peters, who calls Will "the axeman" and refers to him as "a 15 year old guitar prodigy who exploded onto the Memphis music scene." Peters began putting Will to the test with different bands at BB King's in Memphis and Orlando. After opening three times for BB King when he performed in Memphis, Will formed a band who now performs at BB King's Blues Club every weekend. During 2008 and 2009, Will performed on stage with Charlie Musselwhite, G. Love and Special Sauce, and the Beach Boys with John Stamos. In January 2009, Will opened for R&B star Angie Stone at the Martin Luther King Peace and Freedom concert. He and his trio performed in the 2009 International Blues Challenge which was promoted with a performance on "Live at 9" on WREG-TV in Memphis, TN and appeared on ESPN during the 2008 Liberty Bowl. Will was fortunate to play the guitar one-on-one with ZZ Top legend Billy Gibbons and has received special interest from notable musicians such as David Porter, Jimi Jamison, and Keith Sykes. He was featured in the Commercial Appeal along with a link to his original song, "Taking Me Down." http://www.gomemphis.com/news/2009/jun/12/listen-up-budding-rocker-off-to-bluesy-start-on/ .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
