Bad Brad & The Sipsey Slims
To say Guin is a seasoned professional is like saying Mike Tyson is halfway decent boxer.
About Me
Brad Guin is a phenomenal saxophone player who has been hitting the stage and studio with
some of the biggest names in the music industry since the ripe age of 17 when he performed
with The Four Tops and The Temptations for the opening of Euro Disney in France.
Between then and now, he has been a saxophone player for: Duane Allman, Bobby Blue Band,
B.B. King, The Ojays, Clarence Carter, Little Milton, Tony Joe White, Bonnie Bramlett, Bobby
Whitlock of Derek & The Dominos, T. Graham Brown, Percy Sledge, Johnny Taylor, Dennis
Locorriere of Dr. Hook, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Martha & The Vandellas, Jim Neighbors,
The Muscle Shoals Horns, Travis Wammack, Cornell Dupree, Freddy Hart, Dennis Edwards,
The Alabama Music Hall of Fame Induction Band. Guin has also been employed by Muscle
Shoals Sound Studios and FAME Studios as a session player and arranger.
Guin has graced dozens of the most famed stages across the world, such as the The Apollo
Theater, all The Blue Note Jazz Clubs in Japan, House of Blues across the U.S. and even
Aretha Franklin's house for her birthday party one year. As a side man for major acts, he has
played nearly every major theater and festival in the country.
To say Guin is a seasoned professional is like saying Mike Tyson is halfway decent boxer. He
now adds to his list of accomplishments his first album as a producer.
Guin decided in 2011 to take his vast experience and start his own band, Bad Brad & The
Sipsey Slims. All songs of the debut album Slim Pickins are written and co-written by Guin.
And to the shock and awe of his friends and colleagues, he can really sing, which is
something he had never done before and his own family didn't know he could. His voice is
now being compared to the likes of Al Green, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, Jimmy Hughes,
Eddie Hinton and Sam Moore. Nobody is more surprised than him.
