Lemon James became interested in playing music at a very early age. She was inspired by soul-stirring guitar work from a Pink Floyd album. Lemon assembled a band which she called Experienced and became known as “the female Jimi Hendrix.” Lemon James performances began in 1994 at open mic nights in clubs throughout Detroit. Lemon began writing original material in the summer of 1994. This led to the release of her debut album in December of 1995. “I AM A VOODOO CHILD.” Lemon went back to the recording studio in 1998-99 and released “LIVIN IN THE SUN.”

Rick Springfield Band – Rick Springfield and Dave Whiston both use Naylor amps. “We have both used Naylor Super-Drive 60 amps on the road for at least two years logging over a million air miles with them. They are in regular flight cases and I have watched baggage handlers drop them from as high as 10 or 12 feet. They have NEVER failed us for over 300 shows”. Rick’s last album “Alive” was recorded with the same two amps as well… “I‘ve never seen any amp handle this kind of abuse especially a tube amp.” Dave Whiston.
