John Bohlinger is a Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist best known for leading the band on NBC's Nashville Star, serving as music director for the CMT Awards and specials on PBS and GAC, and of course for his appearances in PG Rig Rundown, Review Demo, Axes & Artifacts, and What Bohlinger Plays videos.

Lee’s main amp is a Fender Tone Master head, but for backline gigs he usually asks for a ’65 reissue Fender Twin, which is what he used for the City Winery gig. (Lee’s been using the Korg A3 Multi FX processor for years and owns several various states of repair. The effects unit Lee had on this tour quit working, so until the replacement unit arrives, Lee is just plugging straight into his amp sans effects.)

If that’s true, the DSP-driven Anagram may be their most impressive form of revenge yet.
