Spent last night with Jake E Lee & the gang in Obsenic Arts Studio as they were rehearsing & writing for the new record. We dropped off a Customized Voodoo V-Rock for Jake & sat in while they jammed through their new material. Many will be happy to know that this new album will be a return to the blues'ier riff-based rock Jake is so well known for but with some amazing twists & turns! Here's a quick pic of Jake playing the Voodoo Modded Marshall through a vintage '85 Les Paul Custom that we fully re-did the electronics from top to bottom. He also has an arsenal of vintage guitars at his disposal & a new prototype signature series guitar that harks back the 'Ulimate Sin' touring days. Jake is at the peak of his powers, he's playing better than ever & the new songs are amazing! Made a pit stop for coffee in PA & heading back out on the road to try to get ahead of the winter storm! - Trace Davis, President / Founder

Please help us welcome the incredibly talented Mr Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke to the Voodoo Family! - Blackberry Smoke is one of the select few that has forged their own unique sound. Founded in 2001 & often described as Southern Rock meets Country Rock, their live shows are nothing short of stunning! Having toured with such acts as Zac Brown Band, Eric Church, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gov't Mule & any more the band is quickly gaining popularity as one of the fore most touring acts on the scene today.
Blackberry Smoke released their fifth studio album "Like an Arrow" on October 14th, 2016 via their own record label, 3 Legged Records. The album landed at #1 on the US Billboard Country & Americana / Folk charts as well as the UK Rock & Independent Albums charts during release week. Past record labels include Southern Ground & Rounder Records.
Tone Hound - Charlie Starr has an amazing collection containing several 50's & early 60's Les Paul Junior's. He has a love for older Les Pauls, Teles & used them live. A true tone meister in every respect, Charlie's live rig is a combination of older vintage gear joined with the very best boutique gear available including a brand new Voodoo Amps 'V-Plex' half stack, complete with EL34's & Custom Tolex. The straight 4x12" speaker cabinet is loaded with Celestion G12H-55 Heritage Greenbacks.
Buy the records, go see the band live - you won't be sorry! Amazing musicianship & amazing song writing by a great Rock-N-Roll band from Georgia! 'Charlie Starr is one of the most talented guitarists I've ever worked with, its an honor & privilege to welcome Charlie on-board as the newest member of the Voodoo Amps Family.' - Trace Davis, President / Founder
