Dan Auerbach
The Black Keys' guitarist, singer, and producer who brought raw, lo-fi blues-rock back into the mainstream. Auerbach's tone is built on vintage guitars, cranked small amps, and minimal effects -- a fat, fuzzy, slightly broken sound that channels Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside through a modern lens.
