Lead Guitar: 

Texas is home to many great things…great blues guitarists and countless great rock guitar slingers but few have the depth and feel like Austin’s very own Keith Hiebner. We call him “The Captain” for a long list of reasons but he always sets a course loaded with riffs, crisp tones and bursty, blues leads dripping in rock flavors. He is equally at home wrangling notes from his Les Paul, Stratocaster or PRS.

Considered to be one of the most talented Blues Rock players in the lone star state he brings a roaring blend of tone, feel and stinging leads.

In addition to his love of guitar, bold red wines and well-aged bourbon he is also just as well-known as a guitar builder and luthier for his handmade Hiebner Guitars.
