Carl Verheyen, recognized as “One of the World’s Top 10 Guitarists” by Guitar Magazine and “One of the Top 100 Guitarists of All Time” by Classic Rock magazine, has created a wildly successful multi-faceted career. In addition to his solo work as an acclaimed musician, vocalist, songwriter, arranger, and educator, Verheyen has been Supertramp’s lead guitarist for the past three-plus decades and has more than 1,000 soundtrack credits on many of the most popular TV shows and movies of all time.

Verheyen’s 50+ years of solo, band, and studio guitar work have progressed to where hardly a day goes by during which anyone with access to music, movies, or television doesn’t hear him. As a first-call studio guitarist, Verheyen provided the guitar behind some of the most popular TV shows (Seinfeld, Frasier, Cheers, Happy Days, LA Law, Married with Children, among others) and movies (Star Trek, The Usual Suspects, Ratatouille, The Negotiator, hundreds more) of all time. In addition to his duties as Supertramp’s lead guitarist, he has performed and recorded with a who’s-who of music giants, ranging from the great BB King, to Cher, Brad Paisley, Christina Aguilera, The Bee Gees, and hundreds of others.

Verheyen provided one-on-one guitar lessons for John Fogerty and was a featured soloist at the Academy Awards, playing live to a TV audience of more than 67 million. He has released 15 of his own CDs, including his just-released "Sundial," a dazzling combination of rock, blues. funk, and even ska.  The Triple Door concerts will showcase material from the new effort, as well as from his entire career.  

Carl is bringing an incredible band with him:
-Drummer Bernie Dresel (Brian Setzer's longtime drummer)
-Bassist Tom Child (The Cranktones, Walt Disney Co.)
-For the first time, the CVB will add keyboard player and guitarist Troy Dexter (Wilson Phillips) to the mix!

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

“Every time I start to feel good about my playing and general overall knowledge of the guitar, I will get together with Carl and see truly how far I have to go. I am proud to call him my friend. A master of the guitar and a helluva nice guy to boot.” -Joe Bonamassa

“Carl is so overwhelming to sit in a room and jam with, let alone his playing on records and stage. You get the impression there is no style or territory he is unable to explore.” -Brad Paisley

“Carl is known as a studio guitar player but he’s much more than that. His records have the great feel of a live player. He plays with a lot of feeling” -John Fogerty
