Musicians exhibiting cars and guitars include: • Michael Anthony • Jeff Beck • Eric Clapton • Billy F Gibbons • Kenny Wayne Shepherd • Brian Setzer • Jimmie Vaughan A variety of educational programs will be presented in conjunction with the exhibition including guitar demonstrations and a panel discussion with hot rod builders and musicians.
