BART WALKER MYSPACE
Bart started honing in on his guitar skills at the ripe age of four. Along the way, he became an accomplished musician in a variety of instruments including the mandolin, banjo, dobro, bass, saxophone, fiddle and drums. His accomplishments include winning a variety of bluegrass competitions in his youth, a full scholarship from Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music to study voice in high school, being chosen as a vocalist in the Governors School for the Arts, as well as being selected by a Tennessee panel of judges for excellence for jazz band. After graduating high school, he was recruited into the army national guard as a musician. He attended Austin Peay State University on a full scholarship where his concentration was vocal performance and string bass majors and minors in guitar performance and composition. After college, he moved to Memphis to pursue his dreams of playing the blues. While in Memphis, he became a known name and played for the likes of Ruby Wilson and Preston Shannon. He later on formed a band called Five Mississippi playing all over Beale Street, as well as other parts of Memphis, and as far south as Tunica, Clarksdale and Oxford Mississippi. He returned to Nashville in 2005 with a new feel for the blues, where he has played many studio sessions and various clubs. In addition to his current role as lead guitarist for B.B. King’s House Rockers at B.B. King’s Blues Club, he has also chalked up countless hours in the studio.

Bo Bice Visits Bagram, Afghanistan- Video
Friday, February 8, 2008
Bo Bice Entertaining troops in Kuwait/Afghanistan
"Today I am leaving for Kuwait and Afghanistan with American Idol Star Bo Bice. Yes, I have a long list of autographs for him to sign from my “female friends”. He has one guitar player (Thomas) and a sound engineer (John) with him and I make the fourth “man” on the tour. J I have never met him but have talked with him on the phone. The fact that he and his guys volunteered to go over and thank our troops is all I need to know about his personality."
[...]
"Had a large crowd and Bo gave them a terrific performance."
[...]
"Bo signed autographs and took pictures with everyone in line. He and his guys are “genuine” in their love and admiration for our military and it definitely shows."
[...]
