Derek Wells earned his big break playing guitar for Josh Turner in 2005 and has torn through Nashville ever since. He’s guested on tracks by Brooks & Dunn, Maren Morris, and Mason Ramsey (among many others), crafting guitar lines that pay homage to country’s roots while embracing modern, radio-ready tones. When goliaths like Lady Antebellum put together their all-star session roster for a new record, Wells is at the top of the list.
