Former Guitarist for David Allan Coe, opening act for .38 Special, Quiet Riot, Trace Adkins, Black Foot, and many other national acts. Now touring out on his own as one of the best one-man solo acts available to see, playing drums, bass, and other instruments in his studio and using a custom made foot controlled pedal to use those tracks as he plays live guitar like no other and performs with vocals styling from Chris Stapleton to Metallica, this really is one show you don’t want to miss the opportunity to see.
High energy band delivering all your favorites, guaranteed to keep you moving all night long!
