John Hickey

Having played and recorded with George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, and Bootsy Collins, John has been thoroughly schooled by the masters. John took up the guitar at the age of 14, heavily under the influence of Hendrix, Miles Davis, and James Brown. He relocated from Texas to the tri-state area in his late teens, playing nearly more than half a decade in power trios and developing an aptitude with a wide range of instruments, including guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. In 2001, Hickey became a tech and driver for the Woo Warriors, a band fronted Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bernie Worrell, original member of Parliament Funkadelic and the Talking Heads. Little more than a year later, Hickey became the Woo Warriors full-time lead guitar player. He also released the albums 'Down With The Ship' in 2004 and 'The John Hickey Band Live' in 2006.
