Fate Vanderpool is the leader of The Rosebud Band. Rosebud consists of a group of Nashville session players that have played with many of the greatest talents that have ever recorded in Nashville. But, what they all have in common, besides their tremendous talent, is they have all played on Rosebud Records Artists sessions, all produced or co-produced by Fate Vanderpool.
Fate Vanderpool, joined the Nashville Union when he was only seventeen. Chet Atkins was his sponsor. They both played finger style guitar, together, on many sessions. He and Chet remained close friends until Chet's death.

That's me, Fate Vanderpool (arms crossed in the center of the photo) I played guitar on this session and also sang back ground harmony with my brother Fed, and my sister Harvie June Van, who is standing next to me in the photo.
Over the next few months I hope to share some memories of those sessions with those of you who are interested in hearing an old mans stories.
