The response from Volkaert’s set during the Floyd Radio Show let us all know you wanted more Redd, so more Redd you get!
Probably best known as the most Roy Nichols-like successor to the great Roy Nichols in Merle Haggard’s famous backup band, the Strangers,
Canada native Volkaert had no difficultly establishing his place among the country’s top Telecaster guitar slingers,
and you’d have no trouble finding plenty of people who consider him the best guitar player in Austin today
(check out Haggard’s 1999 Live At Billy Bob’s Texas to hear a great example of Volkaert’s work as a Stranger).

However, to call Volkaert a mere Nichols-like Stranger would be selling short his seemingly effortless ability to conjure up at will a vast array
of complex guitar styles and techniques in countless genres and subgenres of country, rock, jazz, swing, surf, etc.
Volkaert (a 2004 Grammy nominee for best country instrumental performance) has indeed mastered the many guitar styles he plays in.

Having recently moved to Galax Va as of Dec, Volkaert still continues to travel in many situations, ie; Solo or with his Austin band,
w/Bill Kirchen (duo or band), w/Robbie Fulks (duo or band w/Linda Gail Lewis)
But is content at home pickin’ locally too, as long as its music, he’s “in”

If you’re unfamiliar with Redd Volkaert, either of two brand new DVDs released this year on Truefire.com would make a fine introduction
to his world of Tele-slingin’ honky-tonkin’ good times. Either disc (or both, better yet) will have you seeing Redd in no time.
He has a “Live at the Continental” DVD out as well as several lesson type DVD’s
