On our Project ELÉCTRICO journey, we had the opportunity to do some recording in Central Texas. Since I was born in San Antonio and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, I wanted to have some Texas musicians contribute to our recording adventure.
Alan Haynes – Austin, TX
Alan Haynes is an American Texas Blues guitarist. Alan has been playing professionally since the 1970s and has performed with Blues legends that include Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter, Albert Collins, Albert King, The Fabulous Thunderbirds (1980’s version with Jimmie Vaughan), Robert Cray, Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker, and Otis Rush among others. He resides in Austin, Texas.
Ron Wikso – Austin, TX
Ron currently lives in the Austin, TX area with his son, Jesse. He currently divides his professional time between live touring gigs and session work. Besides the traditional studio scene, he does a lot of session work for clients from all over the world, at his own private studio.
He started playing drums at the age of 7 and studied privately with Larry Ramsden while growing up on Long Island. Along with his private studies, Ron played in several local bands and began playing his first professional gigs by the time he was 12. He also participated in as many of the school bands, orchestras and choirs as he could in an effort to learn as much as possible about music.
