For those of you who have been lucky enough to attend a NAMM show, you know that the Fender booth is a must-see destination.

It seems that they’re really pulling out the stops this year. If you’re not at the show, they’ll be posting videos on their blog all weekend long. You can check out the different sections of the booth, interviews with artists, and live performances.

I want to direct you to this page specifically, featuring Big Tex and the Blazin’ Pintos, a band made up of Fender employees from their Scottsdale headquarters. Back in the day when I worked at Fender, I played drums with Big Tex for a few shows while they were between drummers. They’re a really fun band a really great guys. My moniker during those days was Ol’ Grizz, due to the beard I sported at the time.

Please check them out and visit the Big Tex website for more.
