057 - Phredley Brown

““Have Guitar Will Travel” host James Patrick Regan speaks with multi-instrumentalist Phredley Brown, who’s not “just” the guitarist and music director for Bruno Mars, but also assistant music director for “American Idol.” Phredley talks about growing up with a piano-teacher mother (and minister father) in Detroit, playing drums in church, and how as a kid he became fascinated with all instruments, influenced by many artists. When he joined Bruno’s band, he had to transition from dedicated keyboardist to also handling guitar, and eventually guiding the whole band.
