GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist FORTUS Performs With COUNTRY BONES On 'Leno'; Video Available

May 7, 2009

Video footage of GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Richard Fortus performing with COUNTRY BONES on NBC-TV's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on April 28, 2009 can be viewed below.

COUNTRY BONES plays hard-driving Americana truck-driving music familiar to fans who love classic bands like LYNYRD SKYNYRD, GEORGE HAMILTON IV and DAVE DUDLEY. The songs are performed with exceptional musicianship and written by lead singer Larry "Bones" Dennison. Lyrics are fresh, irreverent and expressed with a sense of humor.

Born in Creve Coeur, Missouri, Bones gets back to his country roots after years of touring internationally and performing on albums for such diverse artists as LITA FORD, DIO and Robert Bradley's BLACKWATER SURPRISE. He joins forces with hometown childhood friend Richard Fortus, who has been playing guitar with GUNS N' ROSES since 2002. Grammy Award-winning musician J.D. Maness, who also plays with Merle Haggard, adds standout pedal steel guitar. The COUNTRY BONES album was helmed by multi-platinum producer Bruce Robb (SHELBY LYNNE, JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP, LEVON HELM).
