Fogerty's Son? - Rocking the Ric

Post by fireglo330 »

Just came from the New Orleans Jazz and Blues Festival. Caught John Fogerty on the final day and have to say he was awesome. Still going strong vocally and laying down some killer lead work as well. His main rhythm guitar player was rocking a beautiful Ric.
Rumor had it that the guy is his son.

Sorry no pictures but I noticed it had a bigsy and the sound hole was a different style. Great looking guitar though it was hard to hear in the outdoor sound mix.

Anyway if you ever get the chance go to New Orleans for this festival do it. It was fantastic. So was Fogerty.

Was it a purple Model 370? If so, it was indeed his son, Shane, who's quite a great player.

Saw a pic of Shane playing Dad's 1998 with the B5.

It was Shane (John announced during his set) and he was playing a Pete Townshend signature (what John B said).

Another guitarist was also playing a Rick on some songs.
