VINNIE PAUL To Attend Summer NAMM Convention This Weekend

July 12, 2006

Former PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott will in Austin, Texas this coming Saturday, July 15, 2006 at Emo's Lounge for the 2006 Summer NAMM convention. In what appears to be the only "open-to-the-public" event during the convention, Emo's Lounge will play host to the incredible and most awesome "Six-String Masterpieces" "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott tribute. "Six-String Masterpieces" is a charitable fine-art exhibit of Dean ML guitars that have been hand-painted, illustrated and sculpted by many of America's favorite rock musicians and tattoo artists. These world-class artists have donated their time and talent to this tribute by creating original works of art on a guitar with the encouragement of curator Curse Mackey. The exhibit was featured on MTV2's "Headbanger's Ball", which was recently hosted by Vinnie Paul. It will also be featured in Guitar Player magazine at the end of July.
