If you get a chance to see this guy live, do it!

They performed at our church last Friday. Lincoln likes to travel as a three piece and they are great. From just ripping guitar tunes to what he called "camp fire time" with just an acoustic and getting the Jr High kids to help him remember a verse. Just great on a spiritual level and a guitar lover level.

Since I play guitar on a worship team and work on the tech team I got tapped to help with setup. All great guys who like to keep it simple.

I love Lincoln Brewster, though I've never had a chance to see him. A guy I know from the McInturff forum played bass for him a couple years back during a worship tour where he used mainly pick-up musicians and had nothing but great things to say about him. He's going to be in my area (meaning I can get there in under 2 hours) in June, but it's my anniversary weekend, so it may be tough. I didn't realize he was playing LP's now. He was always a Strat feller.

He had 2 Eric Johnson strat's with him Friday. He just played one of them. Only switched between acoustic and the strat. He and went direct with a POD XTL. He used an amp for some stage volume. It was pointed at the bass player not the audience.

I saw LB a few months ago, and it was a fantastic concert. He's got some monster chops, and he got some good sounds out of his POD. The night I saw him, Norm Stockton was playing bass, and it was worth going just to see him play. The best thing is, LB loves to praise God by playing his guitar, not just singing... so there were lots of guitar solos!

And we church guitarists complain when leaders ask us to give up our amps and run through a POD!!

His site doesn't mention any Fender other than a partscaster, and a bunch of different amps. He must have scored a Gibson endorsement at some point as that's pretty much all his site mentions under gear and most of the photos of him are with a LP.

He said his new website should be up in a month or so.

He also mentioned one (it's CAR) of the the EJ strats will be up for sale when his Fender custom shop order comes in. He said he likes the EJ wiring but prefers a hard V neck vs the soft V on the EJ.

Really liked the LB stuff I've heard so far. Our interim worship director had us doing a pretty cool arrangement of "All to You". I get newletters from Norm Stockton and he is doing some dates with him, but none in the Chicago area yet.

My in-laws are not to far from Lincolns home church. We're planning on visiting next time we're up there.
