Classic Country and Rockabilly Music with
About
We are dedicated to the preservation of classic country and rockabilly music, and to the creation of new music in those genre. In addition to original songs, we play music largely from the mid-1950s through the 1990s. This includes covers of artists such as Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings.
Come out and see us
We'll try to keep everybody informed where we will be playing and when. Bring the whole family and all your friends, and enjoy the music that we believe country music fans still want to hear. By the way, if anyone is too young to remember some of the songs we play, just consider them to be brand new. This music stands the test of time.
Bio
Gary was born in Evansville, Indiana quite some time ago. A fan of country and rockabilly music since the age of five, he got his first guitar when he was ten, and learned to play by the age of fourteen. Originally taken with the sounds of Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, and Faron Young, he was captured by the mid-fifties rockabilly music of Johnny Cash, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ricky Nelson, Carl Perkins and others. He became a fan of the Beatles largely because of their incorporation of rockabilly rhythms and hillbilly harmonies. Other influences on Gary's career include the great country voices of Mel Street, George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Buck Owens. Because much of Gary's song writing centers on the themes of liberty and free choice, he has great respect for artists of the past who found their way to success not because of the industry standard, but in spite of it; hence, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr. and Willie Nelson are probably his strongest influences. These guys were truly rebels who chose freedom over success and ended up achieving both.
