Born and raised in Texas...

Preston Wimberly has spent the better part of two decades onstage, on the road, and in the recording studio. He’s been a major-label recording artist, session musician, road warrior, electric guitarist, and pedal steel player, performing with groups like Jamestown Revival and The Wild Feathers along the way.

Throughout it all, Wimberly has built a signature sound that nods to his influences — the gritty stomp of Joe Walsh, the serve-the-song mentality of Mike Campbell, the slide guitar techniques of Duane Allman — while still creating his own identity. It’s a sound that began taking shape in the Dallas district of Deep Ellum, where he started playing shows at age 16, and continued evolving in Austin, where he gigged as a college student at the University of Texas. After moving to Nashville in 2011, he signed with Warner Bros Records as a member of The Wild Feathers and appeared on the band’s 2013 debut album. Driven forward by Wimberly’s guitar playing, “The Ceiling” became a Top 10 hit on the Triple A charts, while the album itself peaked at Number 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Hailed as torchbearers of timeless rock & roll, The Wild Feathers appeared on numerous late-night TV shows and toured extensively on both sides of the Atlantic, opening for iconic artists like Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan.

Wimberly appeared on The Wild Feathers’ sophomore record, Lonely Is A Lifetime, as well as the concert album Live At The Ryman. Looking to return to his roots, he left the band’s lineup in late 2015 and headed back to Texas, where he joined Jamestown Revival in 2017. Playing with Jamestown Revival showcased not only his skills as a guitarist, but also his ease as a pedal steel player. Once again, he hit the road, backing the band at Farm Aid and Red Rocks while also appearing on the 2018 concert album Live from Largo at the Coronet Theatre.

Now living in Salt Lake City, Preston Wimberly operates a home studio and continues to write and record, flying the flag for the folk, country, and rock & roll sounds that first captivated his attention as a music fan.
