Overview

I am a solo acoustic performer but I have a partner who can play with me as a duo. Classic rock, Country, Blues, and originals are on the menu. I have been playing for 50 years. During that time I served one tour of duty with the U.S. Navy Band, where I performed for President Ronald Reagan and Queen Elizabeth, among other notable performances. My partner is Debbie Henning, an Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame member, also with 50 years experience. I am able to book solo or duo, whichever you prefer, but I highly recommend the duo.
I also play with a couple of bands as a bassist and vocalist and can provide a full band if needed.

What to expect

I am very prompt, usually arrive early. I am a professional. This is a business, but I'm laid back and try not to be in a hurry. I have professional equipment. I can play formal or casual events with ease. I do not drink alcohol, ever.

About

I began playing at the age of 8 years old. Throughout junior high and high school I was a trombone player, and into college and eventually the US Navy Band. Guitar and bass have been backup instruments until about 35 years ago when I met my music partner at an open mic. Her name is Debbie Henning and she is an accomplished singer/songwriter and a member of the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame. I/we play an assortment of classic rock, country, blues, and original music.
