Biography

Doyle Bramhall II is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer. He is the son of blues musician Doyle Bramhall. In the early 1990s, following the death of Stevie Ray Vaughan, he and fellow Austin guitarirst Charlie Sexton teamed with the Double Trouble rhythm section, drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon, to form the band Arc Angels.

Bramhall then signed with Geffen Records and embarked on a solo career, issuing two studio albums: Doyle Bramhall II in 1996, and Jellycream in 1999. In 2001, he released the studio album titled Welcome, featuring the backing band Smokestack. He released his fourth solo studio album titled Rich Man in 2016.
