Daryl Mark Stuermer (born November 27, 1952) is an American musician who plays guitar and bass for Genesis during live shows, and lead guitar for Phil Collins during most solo tours and albums.[1]

Biography

Daryl Mark Stuermer was born on November 27, 1952 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin[2] and is a 1970 graduate of St. Francis High School. Discovered playing with his Milwaukee band Sweetbottom, Stuermer auditioned for and won a spot backing up jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty[2] in 1975, with whom he recorded four albums. In late 1977, Stuermer, on insistence of friend Alphonso Johnson, was recommended as a replacement for Steve Hackett to support Genesis for live performances. He retained the role of lead guitarist and bass player with the band until 1992: he also rejoined them for the 2007 Turn It On Again Tour. In 1979 he toured the USA and Canada with Gino Vannelli in support of the "Brother to Brother" album.

In 1982, Stuermer followed Genesis front man Phil Collins as lead guitarist for Collins' solo career, being mentioned by name in the music video for "Don't Lose My Number". In doing so, he transitioned from what Collins called a "permanent-temporary-part-time member" of Genesis to a "permanent-touring-recording member" of Collins' new group.[2] The collaboration has been a successful one for both musicians, and Stuermer has earned co-writer credits on several of Collins' songs.

Stuermer has recorded eight solo albums, Steppin' Out, Live and Learn, Another Side of Genesis, Waiting in the Wings, Retrofit, The Nylon String Sampler, Rewired: the Electric Collection and Go!. Released in 2002 was a Sweetbottom live reunion album, recorded at Shank Hall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

He is a graduate of St. Francis High School in St. Francis, Wisconsin, and returned to his hometown in the summer of 2002 to play a free concert.

His album Go! was released in early 2007. It contains many older tracks from Stuermer's Sweetbottom days, and includes appearances from Alphonso Johnson, Kostia, John Calarco, and Eric Hervey. His current project is called Daryl Stuermer - Symphony Concert, which involves band members Kostia, Alan Arber and Eric Hervey and singer Forrest "Woody" Mankowski, recreating classic Genesis material mixed with instrumentals from his solo career.

Equipment

Stuermer has been a Fender Stratocaster user for most of his career with Phil Collins. His primary guitars have been a Candy Apple Red and a 3 Tone Sunburst, though he also played banjo on the Collins song "The Roof Is Leaking". In addition to the Fender Stratocaster in his tenure with Collins and Genesis, he played Gibson RD Artist bass guitars and Ibanez electric guitars in 1978. He then switched to a SUNTECH Model SA-MFSC "Stratocaster Style" guitar from 1978 to 1984 and used a Shergold Bass Guitar (1980), a Fender Precision Bass guitar in 1981/1982, a Status bass guitar and Ibanez guitar (1983–84), a Steinberger bass guitar (1986–87) and guitars (1986/1987), a Yamaha bass guitar in 1992 and again in 2007. As of 2007 he has largely been using a Godin LGXT electric guitar. He also uses the reintroduced Fender American Standard Stratocaster and the Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster
