Rockie Lynne.

Rockie Lynne wasn’t discovered until he was 39. “A famous music attorney once told me, ‘You’re just too stupid to quit.’” he says. “He may have been right. I’ve always been a late bloomer.”

The country star's drive comes via an early love for rock music and a curiosity for jazz. “Frank Gambale and Scott Henderson were doing things on guitar I could only dream about,” he says. “It was like the first time I heard rock – I didn’t understand it, but I wanted to learn everything I could about it.”
