Raised alongside the California coastline in Santa Barbara, Chris Shiflett kicked off his career in seminal pop-punk groups like No Use For a Name and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
As the '90s gave way to the 2000s, he joined the Foo Fighters' lineup. He's since become one of the band's longest-running members, flying the flag of modern rock & roll for two decades.
His solo music includes songs that nod to the classic Bakersfield sound one minute and Keith Richards' greasy guitar style the next, recorded between Foo Fighters tours using a Marshall JCM800 vintage guitar amp that became a popular piece of gear during the '80s hard rock scene.
Plugging his Telecaster Deluxe and Les Paul Gold Top into that amplifier added a heavy dose of grit to Shiflett's material.
