I guess it's time to update the band info, now that I am living in Spokane and have a new band, I should give them some credit.
Mark Manley is the new drummer and we are still trying to get him to bring out his Neil Pert lookalike drum set! And YES, he Can play them.
Gary Shastany is on the bass and also sings just like Greg Allman. Gary is also our choreographer! What is it about these Bass Players anyway!!!
The band has put together really nice mix of Allman Brothers, Zepplin, Robbin Ford, Johnny Lang, Clapton and other blues, rock and alt-country music and will be performing at the Davenport Peacock Room on a regular schedule. So come check it out...

I play with so damned many people I can't even count them, much less name them, but I'll try...
On "Turn My Blues to Gray", I was with "The Dangerous Shoes", Ricky Lockhart (Big Nick & The Gila Monsters) on drums, Rocky Heyer on bass, Ric Campbell on lead guitar & Rumpelman's.
On "Too", Bill Babin on drums, Adam Redstone on lead guitar, I think Shawn Swain (Stereo Blitz) was on bass that night, and, of course, ME on mandolin.

Trig Ward, Texas bluesman and honky-tonk singer extraordinaire, who taught me to play guitar in Greenville, Texas, just a tadbit east of Dallas.
Come see acoustic Texas Blues...it's good for the soul! From influences of Grand Funk Railroad to George Jones comes acoustic music from the heart.
Obscure songs of Steppenwolf, ZZ Top, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, Charlie Daniels, Jim Croce, The Beatles, The Allman Brothers, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, Bugs Henderson...Most of which you have never heard before.
Thanks for the Birthday wishes friend! How are things in Spokane? Went to AZ last week for 7 days. It was HOT! Got to have lunch with Ric and got to see my Daughter (Now in Tucson) and friends n family in Phoenix! Came back to bitterly cold weather (at night anyway). Today its suppose to reach 50 so...
Hi Maxie Ray. Great to hear from you. I don't know when we'll be up to the big city. So far, we haven't looked into playing there. Anyway, we're all good, and can't wait to play the fair down in Lewiston next weekend.
Debbie you sound great, Maxie you need to get her to do more songs with you. I liked the guitar and the key boards, but I thought the key board level was a little to high. Overall, nice song!
Hello Mr. & Mrs. Mills! Listening to "I can be" and enjoying it very much. Nice strong vocals and smooth guitar work highlight this delightful piece. Had to crank it up a bit but it's probably the myspace player... The guitar and piano work very well together to bring us into a really cool vocal exit strategy..nicely done you guys!!
Hey Maxie. Thanks for the comment and the kind words. I want you to know we dig your stuff, too. I'm lovin' the vids of Kenny Wayne Shepherd that you posted. Sorry we didn't know each other well enough to say hello at the concert and chat for a bit. Keep on bluesin'. (Doug) / Bare Wires
Listening to your music is the most fun I have had with my pants on in quite sometime. Your not from greenvlle are ya? Hope you are doing well & always remember. A little harmonica goes a looong way...Kev
