OMT (One More Time)
Classic rock, Contemporary Country, Alternative, and much more.
Great songs you love and great songs you may not know but WILL love. Tight vocal harmonies and a ton of fun! (And yes, we did weigh the fun to be sure).
Turbo Shot
This is the band that seriously doesn't take itself seriously. :D
It's all about the great 'party rock 'n' roll' that you hear comin' out of your drunk neighbor's old and dying humungous speakers around midnight on a Saturday night - where everyone at his house is having the time of their lives, but you're wussing out cuz you gotta work on Monday. Wahhh... Every thing from the classic 70's & 80's favorites to contemporary hits. I'll let one of the band's posters speak for itself....

BAD BOUYS
Your favorite yacht-rock classics, but with a little more edge and power to 'em.

PRAIRIE SURFERS
Classic Rock to Americana.
I'm also helping out by subbing in on some shows with two great local bands:
---The killer Rush tribute band, ANIMATION
www.Facebook.com/AnimationRushTribute
---And some great original music mixed in with some great, special covers in the band MEL MUZIC
**UPCOMING SHOWS**
As busy as I am with shows, guitar lessons, band rehearsals, etc, I'm sure I'll miss posting something at some point. If you're wanting to double-check if I'm playing any weekend that is (accidentally) not listed below, please feel free to email me to find out if I will be playing a show with one of these great bands!
