Don Felder is renowned as a former lead guitarist of The Eagles, one of the most popular and influential rock groups of our time. The band’s record-setting compilation Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) sold over 29 million copies in the United States alone and was awarded by the Recording Industry Association of America the top-selling album of the 20th Century.
To date, Don and The Eagles have sold more than 83 million albums. A member of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 1998, Felder served as a member of The Eagles for 27 years, putting his mark on numerous Eagles milestones. Felder co-wrote the music of The Eaglesʼ biggest hit the iconic, GRAMMY® studded smash Hotel California – along with fan favorites like Victim of Love and Those Shoes.
He became immediately celebrated for his lyrical, signature guitar work on legendary songs like One of These Nights, New Kid In Town, and more. Hotel California was voted the #1best 12-string guitar song in the world by Guitar World magazine.
After leaving the group in 2001, Felder also became a New York Times bestselling author when his riveting confessional memoir Heaven and Hell: My Life in The Eagles proved a major commercial triumph upon publication in2008 and went on to become a New York Times bestseller.
Felder has not only worked with The Eagles but also in both sessions and live performances for numerous music legends spanning the musical spectrum: The Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Bob Seger, Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, Kenny Loggins, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Boz Scaggs, Warren Zevon, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Vince Gill, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Paul Simon, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand – and even old friend, Steven Stills.
In 2012 Don released The Road To Forever which featured some of the best musicians and close Felder friends in the business including Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Tommy Shaw (from STYX) and included the single Wash Away The Pain.
In 2019 Don Felder released his most recent album, American Rock ‘N’ Roll, which covered the gamut of Felder’s artistic talents, consisting of 11 high-energy rockers mixed with touching, thoughtful ballads.
