Wayne Perkins
Biography
David Wayne Perkins (September 6, 1951 – March 16, 2026) was an American rock and R&B guitarist, singer, songwriter, and session musician. A 2017 feature about him on the Alabama website AL.com described him as "arguably the greatest guitarist Alabama ever produced". Perkins may be best known for his work with the Rolling Stones, who almost brought him into the band. However, he contributed his skills to a long roster of high-profile artists, including Bob Marley and Joni Mitchell.
