Pre-meeting showcase 6:30 pm, Main Presenter 7:00 pm
Pre-meeting showcase: Mira Grimm
Main Presenter: “Tink” Bennett
"Tink" Bennett began playing the guitar at 4 years of age and has never looked back. From the age of 15 to today, he has fronted a band, from Rock and Roll to Country and lots of genres in between. Since 1991, he has owned, operated and fronted the band "Tink Bennett & Tailor Made", playing lead guitar and singing lead as well. He has won the 2021 Syracuse SAMMY Award for "Best Country Recording", and was also a finalist in the 2023 SAMMY Award in the same category. Tailor Made has been consistently in the "Sweet 16" finalists in the Syracuse SAMMY People's Choice awards for favorite CNY live act for the past few years as well. Tink was one of the very first CNY guitarists to use modeling guitars and amplifiers on a regular basis for live performance, and is also an advocate for getting young people interested in music, with the band giving away over 15 guitars, 5 keyboards and 2 sets of drums in the past three years at outdoor concert events.
Tink was asked by Don Meixner to come to the group and give a "tour" if you will, of modeling technology and how he uses it in Tailor Made. Tink will first speak about and demonstrate the Line 6 Variax modeling guitar, and then also integrate it with the Line 6 Helix guitar processor and modeler, as well as review the history of modeling technology and why he continues to use Line 6 products on stage and in the studio.
Breakout sessions:
Carl Weiss - Brooks Robertson/Buster B Jones right hand warm up and practice techniques
2nd breakout - TBA
