Eric Clapton is featuring 3 pedalsteel players in the upcoming Crossroads Fest at Madison Square Garden.

Congrats to:

Dave Biller
Greg Leisz
Robert Randolph

Three great players with very different takes on the instrument.

Cool No chance to attend but I always enjoy watching these Crossroads shows on PBS. They air way after the actual event of course, but still nice.

It appears that Greg Leisz is actually on the spring tour with EC. I read Sharon White's name as vocalist also. Wonder if that's the same Sharon from The Whites family bluegrass band?

I have seen this particular Sharon sing in Clapton's band, not only is she not Sharon White Skaggs, wife of Ricky and member of The Whites, she's also not white.

But interestingly, she has actually been recorded singing on one or more Ricky Skaggs projects:

Thanks Bob! I just want to clarify, that although I do make my living as a steel guitar player, I am actually going to be on the 6 stringer for this show. I have no idea what I'm going to do other than that. The whole deal came out of nowhere! Confused
