A graduate of Western Connecticut State University with a degree in music, Gannon brings power and pathos to The Big Motor vis-a-vis his eight-string guitar stylings. Influenced by everyone from Mozart to Meshuggah, he frequently tours with former America’s Got Talent contestant Sawyer Fredericks, doing duty on bass, in addition to “big motoring”.  He is also available for private lessons: gannon.ferrell@gmail.com. Most importantly, he sports a beard that would make any late-19th century gentleman envious, as it is thick, lustrous, and impeccably groomed.
