## History

Lincoln Durham was born in [Whitney, Texas](/source/Whitney,_Texas) and grew up in [Itasca, Texas](/source/Itasca,_Texas).[1] Durham started out playing fiddle when he was four. He competed in fiddle contests in Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, and when he was ten, he won the Texas State Youth Fiddle Championship.[1] In high school, Durham switched to electric guitar citing [Nirvana](/source/Nirvana_(band)) as the inspiration for a new direction.[8] After high school he took a break from music, but he returned, switching over to acoustic guitar and picking up a slide guitar style. Durham was mentored by [Ray Wylie Hubbard](/source/Ray_Wylie_Hubbard).[1] Durham's current sound has been compared to [Nick Cave](/source/Nick_Cave), [Jack White](/source/Jack_White) and [Tom Waits](/source/Tom_Waits).[9][10]
