I couldn't find this posted anywhere else on the boards so apologies if I'm creating a duplicate. I'm looking for a performance schedule for the summer NAMM in Nashville coming up. I can't find any info online..

many thanks

No clue.

The other day I met a guy who is one of the Gibson reps at NAMM. In the back of my head I wanted to beg him for a pass, but I knew that was his job, and he probably gets that a lot, and it's more than likely extremely lame. I settled for telling him how I wanted to print up fake badges and sneak in, and asked him what it was like.

He talked about how there were decibel requirements for the booths... cool stuff.

sucks to know that it's happening 45 min from where i live and i can't go! urgh!

Summer NAMM is pretty low key. I will be on the DigiTruck and not there which is fine with me because Digitech has a VERY nice suite next to Gibson and Fender at Winter NAMM but at Summer NAMM it is just a regular little booth. PLUS there is no stage and no sound system AND I was told the clinician could not use backing tracks and just had to do little "jams" on a small amplifier due to decible requirements. ...... LAME ......

Save up what is sure to be a brick of gold to afford an airline ticket to California next year due to fuel prices and go to Winter NAMM.

What ever you do, make time to see Johnny Hiland. He is an incredible versatile player.

[rikkbeatty]

He was at Gear Fest at Sweetwater in Indiana. He checked into my hotel and my Regional sales rep pointed him out to me. I had not heard of him before but I checked him out and he is a great player!

[Silver Sable]

Johnny Hiland played an excellent little set in the Peavey room. He is so talented and such a sweet man too. Seriously he sat there forever shaking hands and talking with all kinds of people, and he's just so kind and patient. Very rare thing to find these days. His bassist was pretty amazing too. I'm glad I made the time and I hope to see him play again sometime soon.

[michblanch]

Johnny is such a nice person and he travels almost everywhere with his wife, who is a real sweetheart.

I cannot give him enough praise as a player, and as an extremely laidback guy.

Super nice guy, caught him in a chat outside and in the Carr booth.
