Grammy-winning guitarist Peter Frampton is one of the most celebrated artists and guitarists in rock history.
At 16, he was lead singer and guitarist for British band the Herd. At 18, Frampton co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie.
His collaborations in recording sessions and live performances range from such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Dion, Hank Marvin, Ringo Starr, B.B. King, Mike McCready & Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam), Buddy Guy, Steve Miller and many others. Frampton’s relevancy has not waned in the least over the years.
