ANSON FUNDERBURGH (Dallas, TX) has spent the majority of his adult life playing the blues with his band The Rockets featuring Sam Myers. Anson has earned the respect of artists like Delbert McClinton, Boz Scaggs, Jimmie & Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ronnie Earl. Over the years, these musicians have called on Anson to lend his tremendous guitar talents to their projects. Since the passing of long-time musical partner Sam Myers, Anson has concentrated on raising a family, working very local gigs and performing at a smattering of festivals around the world. Now Anson has caught a renewed dose of the performing bug and is performing more regularly throughout the U.S. and abroad.
