Wade Lipham
Wade Lipham is a young man living in Fort Worth, Texas who plays the acoustic blues. He believes that blues are not just simple progressions and howling riffs; the blues are a feeling and a state of mind. You may hear Wade play songs that aren't traditionally part of the blues ... but the heart of the song is always blue.Band/artist history
Not a terrible amount of history. An interest in playing fingerstyle emerged from listening to Leo Kottke and the interest in lead emerged from listening to rock. I learned to play the guitar about five years ago, took a brief hiatus and came back strong; I haven't stopped since.Have you performed in front of an audience?I occasionally play a live gig solo, but mostly lead guitar for the praise band at my church.
