Artist History Kentucky born and bred. I've had the good fortune to work with some really major musicians and I've opened for many many major acts. I learned more from Smokey Wilson than anyone I've encountered. He is the real deal. He is also the loudest guitar player I have ever encountered. So loud, all I could here was a buzzing sound. But damn can he play the blues. I toured with Big Bill Morganfield and had a killer time makin some heavy blues with the man.I'm in the middle of my solo CD, "Trouble" which I'll be posting each track as I get them ready for consumption. I've always been a fan of the blues. I started out on dobro so it stands to reason I play a lot of slide on stage. I'd rather play slow blues than eat.

Group Members Steve Thorpe guitar and vocals. Kenny Clarke keyboards. Nathan Thorpe on bass, David Pastorius can also be found playing bass for me. Tom Bayes on drums. Derik Sexton do drums, according to which is availible. When you here a sax with me its JJ Martin. I use different harp players, Jim Essery, Roy Branham . Also joining me often on the bass and someone I've toured a lot with is Buzzy Meekins, the pocket monster from Tampa.

Instruments guitar, bass, drums, piano and organ, and sometimes harp and sax
