Grammy-winner and guitar-playing legend Redd Volkaert is renowned throughout the country music world and beyond for being one of the greatest Telecaster players in history. A true giant of country music, Volkaert once played in Merle Haggard’s backing band The Strangers in the spot previously manned by Roy Nichols.
Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Redd picked up guitar at an early age, and moved to Alberta where he got his first serious start as a professional musician. Redd then relocated to Southern California in 1986, eventually running into a young Dale Watson who became a frequent collaborator. Redd then spent more than a decade in Nashville primarily as a live performer, playing with the likes of Ray Price and The Statler Brothers among others, and eventually behind Haggard. But he never quite liked it in Music City, where most of the musician work was centered around studio time as opposed to the clubs and honky tonks. So eventually Volkaert moved to Austin, Texas, where he lived for some 20 years, including performing at Austin’s famed Continental Club with the supergroup Heybale! every weekend.
From western-swing to jazz and rock, Redd is considered an icon on the Telecaster with numerous guitar models named after him. He emerged as a solo artist with the celebrated release of Telewacker (1998) and No Stranger to a Tele (2001), each showcasing a satisfyingly diverse mix of country and swing, hot instrumentals, and vocal numbers in the Bakersfield-honky-tonk tradition. In 2009 Redd received a Grammy for best country instrumental performance for “Cluster Pluck,” a collaboration with Brad Paisley, James Burton, Vince Gill, John Jorgenson, Albert Lee, Brent Mason, and Steve Wariner. In addition to his seamless ability to conjure up a vast array of complex guitar styles, Redd is beloved for his trademark wit and sense of humor.

Wow! Unreal picking on the Tele and the lap steel! Kudos gentlemen!

In my next lifetime, I'm gonna play as good as Redd. Or maybe the one after.

This video should have 329,000 views, not 329…!
Awesome
Excellent ! Well done !
Redd just ain't quite human ... And Silas is simply incredible!
Sublime my friends.
Mighty fine!
Those floating / melodic style licks are insane! That stuff is easier on a banjo, and it’s still really hard to do on a banjo!
Red is damn cool land I like the kid sitting as t that little kid table too !😎
Get after it boys! Love you REDD
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeeaahh
Silas Hamilton doing that Buddy Emmons shirt proud! 👏👏
Tight band. Love the precision of the pedal steel player.
❤
Bravo! 👍 What a lively and energetic performance!
What model telecaster is he playing here?
There’s only one Redd!
This is country music. The commercial stuff is cowboy hat bubble gum rock.
Think I heard a little “Buddy Cage” in there.
That's Ringo's old drum set!
Redd somehow looks like a whaler just sailing out from Nantucket, but I guess he stayed put to the music, because there wouldn't have been one sperm whale left, when hunted by his telecaster.
(Praise to Silas too by the way)
Redd has more Licks than an Ice-Cream Parlor!!!!!
