Born in
1950, Brad French grew up on the North Shore of Boston, MA in
the lovely sea coast town of Swampscott. At age ten he began
formal training on the guitar.
By
fourteen, Brad was playing professionally, doing studio session
work and teaching. He was on the Dean's List at the prestigious
Berklee School of Music in Boston. After a very successful fifteen
years of performing and recording, life "on the road" made Brad
ready for a change of pace. He moved to the beautiful "Green
Mountain State" of Vermont and headed the string repair department
in the largest music store in Northern New England located in
Burlington, Vermont.
During
Brads twelve year tenure there, his fame and reputation became
widespread. Many famous touring artists relied on Brad for emergency
repair work when in town. Among his more notable students were
Fran Sheehan and Barry Goudreau of the world famous rock band
Boston. He then went on to set up shop in his home where he
remains today. Thanks to the Internet, musicians everywhere
can now take advantage of this gifted craftsman.
