Proving the NAMM TEC Awards is one of the best nights in music, songwriter
Steve Lukather was on hand to
introduce GRAMMY award-winning guitarist, singer-songwriter Peter Frampton as the newest recipient
of the Les Paul Innovation Award. After rocking the hall with several classics
that included “I Want You to Love Me,” and “Blackhole Sun,” dedicated to the
late Chris Cornell, Frampton remarked, “Les Paul was the godfather of modern recording,
the most innovative of guitar players, and the creator of what we do. It’s a
debt we all owe him. Whatever I’ve done to win this amazing recognition started
with Les. Les showed us that innovation isn’t about high tech or money – it’s
about ideas and using the tools at your disposal to make music in ways it’s
never been made before.” The award has been presented annually to
remarkably-distinguished and accomplished individuals from the music industry,
such as Jackson Browne, Joe Perry, Todd Rundgren, Pete Townshend, Lindsey
Buckingham and beyond. Read more about The Les Paul Foundation by visiting https://www.lespaulfoundation.org/.
