Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival

 Catch the echoes of such diverse giants as Louis Armstrong, Hank Williams, Robert Johnson and Ornette Coleman in Doug Wamble’s music, and you begin to sense the uncommonly broad pool of inspiration from which the young guitarist, vocalist and composer draws. On his two Marsalis Music releases, Country Libations (2003), and Bluestate (2005) the Tennessee native offers a music that is true to his roots in blues and gospel, his love of jazz and popular song, and his commitment to both reflect his diverse sources and turn them in new directions. Wamble, who received his bachelor at North Florida University and an Masters Degree at Northwestern has recorded or played with a diverse array of artists including   Wynton Marsalis, Cassandra Wilson, Steven Berstein, Branford Marsalis, and Madeleine Peyroux.
