Comanche Peak

 


(Keys, Fiddle and Vocals)

WHERE DO YOU LIVE? I really have two homes: Nashville, TN - where the roots of country music & southern hospitality thrive; and Colorado - which has captured my heart.

WHAT INSTRUMENTS DO YOU PLAY AND WHY? My folks claim I was asking for a piano by the age of two. What a wonderful day it was when they were able to find a good old used upright piano! At about that same time the grade school I attended was offering free group orchestra/band instruction (thus the violin/fiddle). So thanks Mom & Dad for putting up with all the noise/music from about fourth grade on! (thanks V. for being a violinist!)

HOW DID YOU GET INTO MUSIC? Well, I have just never been able to get "away" from music - Ha Ha. No really, I believe everyone receives gifts and/or a calling from God, and I am just following mine. So all the "good" notes you hear are His and all the not so good ones are mine.

HOW DID YOU MEET RLG? I feel like I met Ricky through his music (as many people do). A "cover band" I was working with performed some of RLG's material. Then a few years later, while working with the renowned "Mustang Sally" we did a show together. Later while doing a studio project, Ricky was called in for his production skills and from there the rest was history. I would like to say how thankful I am to be working with one of the most gifted & spiritually based persons I have ever met!

WHAT IS YOUR CAREER HISTORY? There have been so many talented people and various ensemble situations that I have been Fortunate enough to "play" a part in that I'm really not sure where to begin...so I will just say I feel very blessed to be where I am now! (Personal Note: Thank you Dr. M.G. & Dr. W.L.)

ANY OTHER INFO SUCH AS HOBBIES OR FAVORITE FOODS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE GREGGHEADS? Rather than limit the topics of conversation I would like to say Thank You to those who have given their time to not only hear us perform, but later to come up and say hello! As for "Favorite Foods" as special note of thanks to: Our Vicksburg friends - wonderful Thanksgiving dinner; M&M - great doughnuts!; D&J - delicious meal and cultural experience too!; R&J - loved the pound cake and love you too.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
Nashville, TN / Paulding, Ohio

WHAT INSTRUMENTS DO YOU PLAY AND WHY?
I play the bass because I like to shake the house, and I love thunder I play the guitar because it feels second nature to me I play the drums because it helps me keep a good sense of rythem, and it relieves aggression. I play whatever instrument I can pick up because I love to make things make music - rubber bands, pots and pans, whatever I can get my hands on

I was fortunate to grow up in a musical family

HOW DID YOU MEET RLG?
I met RLG through the George Jones band and crew. When they heard that RLG needed a bass player they were more than kind enough to give him my number. I was already a big fan though. Had the "Get a Little Closer" album cover on the wall in my college apartment.

Been playing since I was a pup. Had a short lived solo career, played in a folk band called "The Cat's Pajama's", also play in a rock band called "Mellow Down Easy" and am working with "Tesla" frontman/vocalist Jeff Keith on a new project.
