If you’re a roots music fan and an eagle-eyed viewer of the hit television show- Nashville, you might have noticed that the on-screen band includes an incredibly prodigious and tasteful guitar player, wearing a trademark black hat — namely, our friend Colin Linden.
The show’s top-notch music track, helmed by executive music producer T-Bone Burnett and co-producer Buddy Miller, has been a big part of its success.- And Colin has been instrumental to that sound — lending his guitar playing to many of the songs performed on the show, and also serving as guitar coach to several of the actors.
Tomorrow morning, the cast of Nashville will visit ABC’s The View, and we’re told that Colin will be part of a band performance segment. Tune in (or set your DVRs) tomorrow morning at 11a ET to catch the show.
