Lead Guitarist Rhett Boswell (also of the band Juniper City) is a guitar player’s guitar player. He has an incredible collection of pedals that he uses to create a great original guitar sound. While he has the ability to create unique and original tones, he can also emulate David Gilmour better than anyone around.
