TAG GRAVES
GUITARIST/SONGWRITER/BAND PRODUCER


Tag is a multi-talented musician with over 25 years of live and studio experience in music which incompasses rock to country and everything in between and beyond.  He plays it all well and with a unique style that has earned him titles such as "GuitarLord" and  "GuitarSlayer".


His vast road experience with music greats such as Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, Rod Steward, Charlie Daniels, Brooks and Dunn, (just to name a few) has earned him the reputation of a versatile and professional guitarist.


Tag Graves has performed all over the United States including New Orleans, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Las Vegas, as well as European tours.  His most recent Las Vegas tour was with "Jive Deluxe" a swing band signed to Polydor records. The tour included The Orleans, The Goldcoast, The Sun Coast, The Statosphere, and The MGM Grand Casinos.


Tag is not only a seasoned player but a songwriter in his own right. His most recent CD "Tag Graves/Guitarist" includes some of his original compositions.


Along with performing, writing, and recording, another of Tag Grave's abilities includes organizing, producing, and promoting new talents.  His most recent venture is that of a band called "The Nukleus" which includes the talents of Tag on lead guitar and vocals, Chip Wells on bass guitar and vocals, Bobby Claire on drums and vocals, and Sherry Lee on keyboards and vocals. All the members of "The Nukleus" are songwriters and studio musicians in their own right.  Of Tag Graves they say, "He is a great player, performer, songwriter, band leader, and our friend"  Tag says of himself, "I get lucky every now and then."
