Billy F Gibbons and the BFG Band
With his signature beard and African headgear, Billy F Gibbons is instantly recognizable and best known as the centerpiece of ZZ Top. BFG is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest guitarists working in the blues-rock idiom. The sound originates from the uncanny knack to squeeze unheard of sounds out of the electric guitar with the blues, pop, R & B, country, gospel, western, hillbilly, and West Africa. That BFG down ‘n dirty growl is unmistakable heard on such hits as “La Grange,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “Cheap Sunglasses.”

Flanigin has done n’ played ‘em all… from juke joints, Texas and beer joints, to Madison Square Garden and beyond.
