Rig Rundown: Crowbar

New Orleans heavyweights Crowbar have been on a relentless tour of sellout shows this spring, with a schedule of dates that would have bands half their age fainting. Ahead of their gig at Eastside Bowl in Madison, Tennessee, PG’s Chris Kies talked with guitarist/vocalist Kirk Windstein, guitarist Matt Brunson, and bassist Pat Bruders to see what gear they’re using to conjure their crushing wall of sludgy hardcore.

Sadler Vaden is a jack of all trades. He's a consummate pro musician that's spent nearly 15 years as Jason Isbell's stage-right, guitar-slingin' sideman. He's released four solo albums under his own banner [ 2012's Radio Road, 2016's Self-Titled, 2020's Anybody Out There? & 2024's Dad Rock] solidfying his spot as singer-songwriting, guitar-playing bandleader. He's becoming a fixture in the Nashville producer community including overseeing firebrand Morgan Wade's releases Reckless & Psychopath. And now acknowledging his talent, dedication and grind, Gibson has honored Vaden with his own SG that was based on his longtime No. 1 that was a gift after his previous Solid Guitar was stolen. PG host John Bohlinger explores all this in Sadler's journey while also picking his brain about slide guitar.
