Ever since laying his hands on a guitar at age 18, Black became captivated with the instrument, working tirelessly while learning how to effectively wield his new best friend. Growing up in a household filled with gospel and country tunes, and iconic groups like Led Zeppelin forbidden, the young guitarist was magnetically driven to rock and roll. After being given a ticket to Stevie Ray Vaughn by his cousin on a hot summer evening, Black’s life was changed, and he was entranced by the epic blues creations of artists such as Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, and Jimi Hendrix.
