I am now specializing in more intimate acoustic solo gigs playing both classic country and Texas country music. I utilize a Bose portable PA for smaller more intimate gigs but also have a bigger more dynamic PA system for much larger gigs.email : (email hidden)

What to Expect
We use only top quality PA systems, instruments, amplifiers, lights, microphones and cables. Our musicians are professional in both appearance and demeanor. We also work very hard to set up and ensure a prompt start up time. Our set lists, while it does very from time to time, we try hard to play songs that either the audience will enjoy or that will motivate them to dance and sometimes even sing along with us, making the whole event an extremely fun affair. We can also down size to play smaller settings or more intimate acoustic gigs with one, two or three musicians
About
I am a native Houstonian, 6th generation Texan that has a full time career in law enforcement in Houston. My band has been playing for over five years. Country music is our broad category, but we play and fit into the Texas Red Dirt genre more precisely. We currently have our first EP/CD, "Lone Star Hangover", which was recorded in 2015 and released in March of 2016.
Our band has varied in size from four to five musicians and we currently try to keep a fiddle player, as the fifth musician on hand. We also do smaller acoustic gigs of one, two or three musicians.

Additional Booking Notes
We have our own PA system, and limited lighting that works well for most bar / larger hall environments. We can also down size for more smaller/ intimate acoustic acts of either two to three musicians. Staging is a requirement of the venue, bar, or hall we play at. In other words, we do not have any staging equipment.
