Paxton Bachman

Guitar Player Songwriter Recording Artists Review

Paxton Bachman aka Guitar Slinger

"I wanna play gitar like that dude!!"
-- Ription quote upon first encounter

In True legendary Bachman fashion, this rebellious yet ambrosial guitar maniac can set a stage on fire to the brink of explosion. And that's just him getting started!

Upon first meeting and having the opportunity to play with Pax, I was expecting the usual prima donna overbearingly loud egotistical "I Am Guitar God" facade typical of Artists of his caliber. Instead, here was this groovy soft spoken laid back Cat with chops so dynamically tasty it made my mouth water. After the first song, the words out of his mouth -"Was that ok guys? Was I to loud?" Gulp

The PaxMan tours regularly through out the greater Vancouver area and has been known to occasionally step in and rip up when visting his Orange County rat pack of chums.

Pax was kind enough to lay down some tracks on one of my projects - Not knowing the tunes, He nailed each with only ONE pass - "Want me to do it again?" - "Um, no Paxton, that should do it". was my reply while picking my jaw up off the floor. Wanna hear? Here's the MP3 of that track.

With his Father and Uncle being the founding members and principle songwriters of two very successful bands, the Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive, it's no wonder he can play anything a guitar has to offer.

Paxton Guitar Slinger Tagging along with BTO and Van Halen's 5150 tour as a kid probably didn't hurt much either.
"Hey Eddie, show me that lick again!"

If you can catch this dude at any venue, be sure to do it! For appearance dates and tour schedules check our Showcase page for updates. Be sure to say hello and and mention Rip's name and you might just get a slap in the face and stern warning to stay the fuck away from me!

Paxton has toured as a guitar tech with his uncle Randy Bachman and as guitarist and band leader with Texas blues legend, Master of the Lap Steel, Sonny Rhodes.Paxton Posed all gay like

Paxton has performed on stage with the Doobie Brothers, playing a whole encore with them, as well as sitting in with Buddy Miles (Jimi Hendrixs' 'Band of Gypsys') and jamming Hendrix tunes with him.

At Blues Festivals this year in the Toronto area, he and his trio backed up Sonny and opened for Robert Cray and Jeff Healy in front of thousands of people.

When people hear Paxton perform they cannot help but be engrossed in the feeling and passion he exudes. In years to come, those in Paxton's audiences today will be able to say they saw the legend in the making.

For Rock n Roll, Blues, R & B, and/or Jazz performances or recording session work, Paxton Bachman is difficult to match and certainly can't be beat! - http://bandsoc.com/artists/paxton_bachman.html
