Chris Rodriguez is one of the most in-demand sidemen in the music business. In our Truetone Lounge interview, Chris takes us from the Bronx to Miami, and then finally to Nashville, where he tells us how he was chosen to be a part of his first big tour in the mid-1980's with Michael W. Smith. He then walks us through his tours with Amy Grant, Kenny Loggins, Shania Twain, Peter Cetera, Keith Urban, Kelly Clarkson, and how a country producer's attendance at an Amy Grant show launched his career as a session singer. Rodriguez then delves into the importance of singing, and how much more marketable any musician is if they can add this to their musical offerings. Chris then takes a bit of time to talk gear with his Jeff Beck Strat, Duesenberg Double Cat, and his main session pedalboard.
