Anyone know the steel player on Wed. April 13th American Idol show? It was great to see him right up front for millions of viewers to see !

Probably Doug Livingston. He plays steel and lives in California.

He didn't look like Doug.
Sounded good though.
Scotty hit a sour note at the end.

I couldn't tell what brand of steel the guy was playin' cause I couldn't see it too well.

The kid who sang the heavy metal song hit a couple of high notes that were so in tune I couldn't believe it.

He sure did Stu. He reminds me alot of Adam Lambert.
Brett,
I couldn't see the name of the guitar, either.

It looked like a Sho-Bud then I got a VERY quick glimpse of the name plate and I truly beleive it was a Sho-Bud. Maybe someone has it recorded and can verify my suspicions.

Thursday night was a Sho-Bud fo' sho'. Wednesday night was a different player. I'm still new to spotting steels but his looked like a Red(ish) mica D10. The nameplate was a horizontal rectangle, but too dark to read. Maybe a screwed on badge...?
Last Wed. had a PSG player up front too. He got even more camera close up time. Whoever thought that would happen on THIS show?

It was Jamison Hollister. He was the steel player with Skylar. His website:

He is from my neck of the woods--Mississippi. He's from Oxford, I'm from Hattiesburg. I learned of him via a craigslist ad. Great player!

To be a musician on American Idol, one must be a) cute, b) cute, and c) cute. Just kidding, I'm sure your friend is a good player (but he's probably cute, right?):lol:
I laughed when I saw the fiddle player on there last night and the mandolin player--I thought he was going to do a windmill.

Mike,
If your talking about the fiddle player with Skylar, his tone was awful !

Yes, that's who I'm referring to. My wife and I had a big chuckle.

I ran into my old pal Jay Leach last weekend down in Oceanside at the Jay Dee Seminar and ask him why I was not seeing him "on camera" this year like the past few years of the AI show. He told me that they were really pushing the "20-something" look for the on camera players, but that most of the playing on the recorded tracks that they are playing along with are done by the "old school - A team" players.
