Carl Verheyen
In 1985, Carl became lead guitarist for the British rock group Supertramp. The band played stadium shows all across the U.S. and Canada. In 1986 the group toured Europe, selling out huge arenas in eight countries. This tour finished with a command performance for Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
After those tours, Carl slipped into the enviable position of being one of L.As first call studio guitarists. He has played on over 200 different television shows as far back as Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley and including Cheers, Suddenly Susan and L.A. Law. Soon Carls CD collection became full of the movie soundtracks he was doing like Stand and Deliver, Moscow on the Hudson, L.A. Story, Dusk til Dawn, Mr. Wrong and the soundtrack Oscar winner The Milagro Beanfield Wars. Due to the anonymous nature of studio work, not a day goes by when you dont hear Carl on one thing or another: in the movie theaters, on TV, or over the radio.
Entitled SIX, his new recording is the most fully realized disc the band has made. With extra help from keyboard wizard Jim Cox (Ringo Star, Aerosmith, Mark Knopfler, BB King), the sound is full and fat. Once again the songs were written backstage in the bellies of the stadiums and arenas during last years Supertramp tour.
