Is a Musician, Song Writer

Buzz Campbell was born in Dallas, Texas, on Jan, 19, 1969. He moved to California with his family at the age of 7. He was first introduced to 1950s doo-wop by his father’s old cassettes. He soon thereafter picked up the guitar, and with the influence of his uncle, began to learn 1950s-style rock and roll. In 1991, he saw the Stray Cats perform live at the Bacchanal in San Diego, Calif. The show had such an impact on him that he dropped out of college and formed his own group, now known as Hot Rod Lincoln. Buzz and his group have backed up and performed with such artists as Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Willie Nelson, Brian Setzer, Bo Diddley, Chris Isaac, and numerous others.

In 2001, Buzz was approached at a gig by Jocko Marcellino, one of the founding members of the 1950s group, Shanana(2000-2004)). This group is internationally known for their debut at Woodstock, their TV show in the mid-‘70s, and their cameo in the cult classic movie, “Grease.” Buzz became the lead guitarist for Shanana, and still occasionally performs with them. More than 10 years ago, Buzz was given the opportunity to open for Lee Rocker(Present on both albums : Racin’ the Devil, and Black Cat Bone. Buzz even penned the track, “Crazy When She Drinks” for the Black Cat Bone album)(2004-present). Buzz and Lee met and a long standing friendship started. Lee was impressed and produced Hot Rod Lincoln’s critically acclaimed CD titled "Blue Café.” Buzz Campbell completed his largest tour to date by opening for the Stray Cats European Farwell Tour in the summer of 2008.
