Who's Playing with Vince?

Saw Vince Gill's show on Saturday night. Absolutely wonderful. One very small thing that spoke volumes was the fact that the show was scheduled to start at 7:30. At 7:29 seventeen musicians walked onstage in the dark. At 7:30 the lights went on and the music began. (Went to 11) What a way to show respect to your audience/fans.
BUT...does anyone know who the steeler is on this tour? I didn't catch the name. Knowing how this forum works, it's probably one of YOU guys...hahaha.
thanks.

Yes...Russ is doing the Vince tour...I spoke to him on the phone two weeks ago Saturday morning...I was in Laughlin NV...I can't remember where he said he was.

He was great. Strummed a Gibson SG with the band when he wasn't steelin'.

Yeah,Russ is a great guitar player...we had a band together in the late 80s(Country Adults)and we both played Telecasters!We rehearsed for a couple of weeks and neither one of us would bring a steel...we finally hired Allyn Love(Steve Wariner Show)...we missed the steel but we were both too lazy to bring one to rehearsal...I could never be accused of being a slave to my art...and evidently,neither could Russ...we had a dynamite medley of"Tiger by the Tail/Purple Haze"worked up...tavern owners had to put up chicken wire in front of their stages...to protect audiences from objects thrown by the Country Adults...
