Kade Puckett

Kade Puckett, 39, currently lives his music from his home-based studio in Linton, Indiana.
He has 27 years of experience playing the guitar and specializes in finger-style among other genres such as jazz, rock, blues and funk.
His stockpile of music includes more than 100 original acoustical/Indie songs. Puckett has also recorded and produced more than 200 original songs of various musical genres in which he plays all of the instruments.
His most recent album "Living Room" features 12 original finger-style compilations.
Puckett began playing guitar at the age of 13— after being influenced by his grandfather who introduced him to the music of Chet Atkins. But, after watching Eddie Van Halen play "Eruption" he was mesmerized and has continued his journey in the world of music since then.
Puckett has also played in many different bands during his career which include country, rock, jazz, gospel, blues and several others.
Through the years, his musical endeavors have developed into a solo act that can be seen at various musical venues.
As a guitarist, his musical mastery and ability to communicate emotion through sound set him apart from the rest.
Puckett's live performance literally sways the crowd with hypnotizing sound. Music is the language he knows best and few can express such heartfelt emotion through sound.
His sound has been heavily influenced by Chet Atkins, Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed, Eddie Van Halen, Pat Matheny, Steve Via and many, many others.
He recently shared his musical mastery during Bloomington's Gallery Walk in April at the Wandering Turtle Art Gallery.
He's also performed several times at Bloomington's Crazy Horse.
Puckett also took part in the 2009 international finger-style guitar contest at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas.
Puckett was twice featured as the artist of the month at www.myspace.com/mystageindie.
He also regularly performs at weddings, dinners, reunions, restaurants and other special events as well as offers guitar lessons and workshops.
An interesting tidbit is that in 1991, while in high school, he helped design, build and play the World's Largest Guitar — which was later purchased by Dick Clark. He also played this giant guitar for Dick Clark.
