I’ve been very lucky to live in Austin and be surrounded by tremendous talent, and thru friendships I have been able to hop up onstage with some wonderful musicians.

Here’s a list, that I will be updating as needed:

Thierry LeCoz – French Rockabilly legend, and great guy
Ernie Durwawa – Great Drummer, worked with the Texas Tornados, John Lee Hooker and many many others.
John X Reed - Lubbock legend, known for his session work, classic leads and his work with the late great Jessie Guitar Taylor
Speedy Sparks – Austin’s Bassist for the stars – he’s played with them all.
Chris Bolister – Singer songwriter for the UK, who winters in Playa Del Carmen, a great, great talent and a super guy.
Jubal Thompson – Currently in Colorado, simply the finest musician I have ever known…great songwriter, singer, and mind boggling guitarist.
Brent Parkin - Canadian Blues king, he has played with Gatemouth, BB, all the legends…few people play as fluid and sophisticated as Brent can.
The Freight Train Troubadours – Sal, Ace, Todd, Mikey, Chris…thanks guys!
Tyler GrassĀ  – crazy good mandolin player ( and guitar…and who knows what else)
Cecil “Chico” Orapeza – drums, mando, guitar, vocals -
our buddy Chico sits in with us here and there and is one super
musician and great guy.
