Bio
Linnie Hice started playing guitar in his early teens after being turned on to Alcatraz (Steve Vai)
by a friend. With his main inspirations taken from Vai and Racer X guitarist, Paul Gilbert, Linnie
took his guitar and ran with it! By the age of eighteen he was in his second Berkeley theory
program during the day and gigging with the progressive rock band, Lovekraft, at night. Linnie
broadened his playing repertoire by diving into the chicken pick'n world of hot players like Brent
Mason and Albert Lee. Soon after, he was making a living as a “hired gun” guitar player for a
popular Nashville based act before disappearing from the music scene. Jump ahead a few
years......and after four long years in Iraq and Afghanistan Linnie put his rifle down and picked
his guitar back up after some encouraging words from guitar great Brett Garsed. Shortly after, he
entered and won a regional guitar “shred off”. With his newfound momentum, Linnie began
diligently working on his solo album project entitled "Stand". While recording his album Linnie
wore many hats during the project to include writer, producer, engineer, guitarist and singer.
Linnie formed a power trio rock band to support both his live solo act and
to perform music from his new album.
Linnie stays busy playing in one of his three music projects. You can catch Linnie on any given
night playing live with either his groovy power trio project; his acoustic duo with Robert Presley
called NAKED BY NINE; or the fusion band, COLD FUSION.
