Congratulations to Paige Harwell - the winner of the 2005 Dallas Guitar Show's Electric Solo Contest .  His performance on the song 'Palmerized' is more amazing every time you listen!  Next Mr. Harwell will  perform at our Saturday Night Jam with other great players from all around. His prizes include a Peavey HP™ Standard EXP Guitar, a Broadjam Primo MoB membership, and half-price recording studio time at Luminous Sound Studios in Dallas for the remainder of 2005.

Listen to Palmerized

Country Shred / Rockin Country / Metal Grass - whatever you want to call it. That's what Paige is into. Rules are made to be broken and that is the theory behind his approach to the guitar. A guitarist since the age of nine, Paige has always loved everyone from Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed to Eddie Van Halen and Zakk Wylde. The single most important part of it is feeling. "It's not what you play, it's how you play it."
