The rocker signs new solo deal
Former Eagles guitarist and songwriter Don Felder has signed Frontiers Music Srl. The partnership marks the start of an exciting new chapter, with plans to release Felder’s highly anticipated solo album later this year.
“So thrilled to be joining the Frontiers family and to finally share this new record with the world! This music means everything to me, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it,” Felder says.
Fedler is renowned as a former lead guitarist of The Eagles, one of the most popular and influential rock groups of our time.
Hailing from Gainesville, Florida, Felder developed an early passion for music after watching Elvis Presley perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. By the age of 13, he had formed his first band, the Continentals, which included future rock legend Stephen Stills. Felder refined his guitar skills through dedicated practice and even received slide guitar lessons from Duane Allman, laying the foundation for his signature style.
In 1974, Felder joined the Eagles, helping shift their sound from country-rock to a more guitar-driven rock style. He co-wrote and performed the legendary guitar solo for “Hotel California,” one of the most celebrated songs in rock history. His contributions extended to other notable tracks, including “Victim Of Love” and “Those Shoes.”
His dual guitar harmonies with Joe Walsh became a defining element of the band’s sound. In recognition of the Eagles’ massive influence on rock music, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, with Felder performing alongside his former bandmates at the induction ceremony.
Following his departure from the Eagles in 2001, Felder pursued a solo career, releasing albums such as Road to Forever in 2012 and American Rock ‘n’ Roll in 2019. Over the years, Felder has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including Stevie Nicks, Barbra Streisand, and Michael Jackson, further solidifying his legacy as a versatile and influential guitarist in rock music.
