Musicians that moonlight in other genres

If this is about musicians doing other stuff, I could mention Jürgen Dollase, who write about food.

See post #33. He was with Wilson when her rocket ship took off, but after getting to tour the world with her playing huge venues including the Super Bowl she decided to "change direction" with her band and suddenly he was unemployed. He now makes a living playing with blues musician Stacy Mitchheart.

Woody did the cover artwork for the Eric Clapton Crossroads boxset back in the mid 80's. And if I remember correctly, Charlie Watts also published some of his own artwork around that time. I seem to recall an article at the time where either Ronnie or Charlie was asked if the other Stones had similar artistic abilities, and whichever one it was said, "Mick can't even write his own name, never mind draw!".

And Bill Wyman has also been a keen photographer throughout his life.

Oops, totally missed that post!

Classical guitarist John Williams, who also played with Sky. Heck, now that I think of it, probably everyone that played with Sky were either in classical or jazz.
