Las Vegas, Nevada

Beside his numerous stage credits Gary boasts over 25 years of production experience. He was featured on scores of radio ads, corporate presentations, and even background tracks for The Playboy Channel videos. Before leaving Florida he recorded all the organ tracks for the Florida Panthers, still used today in every game. Ta da da da ta da....Charge!

Mouse Over Picture For Bio Info

Born and raised in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, Gary picked up his first keyboard lessons from his father Fred, who played piano, organ, accordian, and harmonica. His early influences were Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis,The Beatles, Leon Russell, and Rick Wakeman. Gary played in several local bands in Virginia, including Borealis, Question, Crosswinds Band and Show, and The Purple Gang. Eventually he left for greener pastures in warmer climes. He worked out of Florida with many popular bands, including Liberation, Midnight Morning, One Step Ahead, Zimmaron, and Actual Proof. After Actual Proof Gary worked Cruise ships with his duo Rich and Crazy, eventually turning into an unsuccessful four piece called 2112. It was at this point he formed Higher Ground with three guys who formerly played in RockStreet. The name was changed to Signal Zero and the band enjoyed a wide following throughout Florida. In the late ninteies Gary decided to start his own band called The Orphans, playing resorts and clubs from Panama City to Key West. Tired of being band leader he desolved The Orphans around 2000 and worked as a side man for many R&B bands, such as, Betty Pagette and the Elements of Funk and The Derek Mack Band. In the summer of 2008 Gary relocated to Las Vegas to join former bandmates Dante Catt (Signal Zero) and Billy Carmody (THe Orphans) in a new band called Stagefright. The band works regularly on the strip at Bill's Casino, O'Shea's Casino, Margaritaville, and Harrah's. Sometimes they appear as Psychedelica in a tribute to the 1969-1971 era, or Twist McCool (when avoiding creditors).... In addition to Stagefright Gary works as the substitute keyboardist for The Coasters-Platter-Marvelettes Show at Planet Hollywood's Steve Wyrick Theater. Gary is rooted in the blues/gospel tradition, and has shared the stage with great players like Dangerous Dan Toler and his brother Frankie (The Allman Brothers), Chris Anderson (The Outlaws), Junior Brantley (The Fabulous Thunderbirds), and many others.
