Stevie Salas joins the Primetime crew Tuesday, January 24th at 6 PM Pacific (8 PM Central, 9 PM Eastern). Whether you know him from his solo work, his legendary session playing or his shredding in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Stevie Salas has been a mainstay in the world of rock n’ roll since the mid-80s. He’s also the executive producer of the 2017 documentary RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World, which told audiences the story of Native American musicians who helped shape rock as we know it today.

Tonight at 6:00 PM Pacific, we’re thrilled to have Stevie on a special live episode of Taylor Primetime. We’ll talk to Stevie about his career, the process of making his Sundance-award-winning film, and more—mark your calendars and make sure you don’t miss this one!

Stevie's Bio:

Stevie Salas left the small town of Oceanside, California, in 1985, moving to Hollywood, dreaming of a career in music. Eight months later, he was discovered by funk music legend George Clinton as the guitarist for Clinton’s albums. He would then go on to work on important albums by Bootsy Collins and Was (Not Was). He received his first major label producer credit with Was (Not Was) when he co-produced the UK hit “Out Come The Freaks” from the album What Up Dog? Rolling Stone Magazine listed What Up Dog? as one of the Top 100 Records of the Decade. The record also featured the #1 global smash hit “Walk The Dinosaur. Stevie provided the guitar music score to the cult classic film Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, appearing as the hands of George Carlin in the movie's end scene, and has also scored several other feature films and TV shows. In 1988 he became Rod Stewart’s lead guitarist for the “Out of Order Tour,” playing sold-out stadiums and skipping cities in a private jet–eventually resulting in Stevie signing the largest record deal Island Records had ever paid for a new artist. His second solo album, Back From the Living, ousted the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith for “Best Album” in Japan. His first record, Colorcode, released in 1990, is still a cult classic in the UK and Europe.
