My band is a "stand alone" four piece band comprised of the top country, classic, and southern rock-n-roll musicians in the Cincinnati area.
..
Mark - Lead Guitar
Mark is an extremely diverse musician. He can go from George Jones to Stevie Ray Vaughn and if your eyes were closed, you'd swear there were two different guitar players on stage. A great vocalist who's harmonies are always right on! Mark is a blast to perform with on stage because he loves nothin' more than to have the ladies screamin' for more of his sweet guitar riffs. He loves to crank 'em out on his PRS or Godin but pretty much anything that has strings on it, he can play.
..
Dale - Bass Guitar
Dale was the original bass player for the Flatt Rabbit Band if he looks familiar to any of you. He has taken some time off to pursue other musical interests and has decided to return to play with us in 2007. The fit couldn't be more right as the work in the past we had done together just fell back into place. I would describe his style as a little more "mellow" compared to the slap of a stand up bass but believe me, you will really enjoy the sound he makes and the vocal ability that he brings to the stage.
..
Johnny - Keyboards
I met John years ago when I was doing some studio work and we just hit it off right away. It's almost like we are on the same page when it comes to new material to do. He would compliment any band with his strong vocal ability and his enthusiasm he brings to a stage, not to mention his incredible talent on the keys! John is a great guy to have by your side when the night calls for a lot of drinkin', a ton of dancin', and makin' the night one helluva party!
..
Jerry - Drums
J. T. is by far one of the friendliest people you could ever meet. His easy-going disposition is noticed wherever he goes. He is a great drummer who loves to get a bunch of girls screamin' at the top of their lungs. He has a great voice and can really entertain a crowd when he tears into a song. If you're lookin' to make a friend, buy this guy a Tequila Sunrise. Trust me, you'll have a friend for life!
Sammy - Band Mascot
Mark's dog Sammy is a seven year old S.P.C.A. rescue dog with unknown talents. Mark just started messin' around with his pedal steel at home one day, and Sammy joined right in. Let's see Garfield do that! He isn't signed yet with a major label but talks with RCA are in the works. When he's not chasin' his own tail, or rootin' through the trash, he's workin' on more songs for all his bitches!

Influences
My biggest musical influence in my life has been my dad. He passed away on Feb. 6, 2007 after a long battle with cancer. He raised me listenin' to the great country artists of the past. Fellas like Red Sovine, Buck Owens, Hank Williams, and others. He loved music.
I remember what he had told me about my music and the people that come out to see me play. He said, "Shane there'll always be one more favorite song that someone will want you to play, so keep playin' until the last person goes home, and you'll know you've done your job". He was a father, a teacher, and my best friend. I Love You Dad!

Sounds Like
Every member of UNBRIDLED sings in his own style, giving our audience a little taste of everything. To me, that's a good band. One that entertains folks with such a wide variety of music, all with one thing in common....the need to raise HELL! I'll steal a line from Donny and Marie and say we're a little bit country...a little bit rock-n-roll...and a whole hell of a lotta fun!
Ya know what's funny?
One time years ago, I was told we were sorta like Garth Brooks on acid...I've seen Garth before so I don't know what that guy was smokin' but....ROCK ON!
I am a Kentucky boy, born and raised, living in the city of Alexandria. I am the only son of a Baptist preacher. Needless to say, church and family values were big in our house. My sisters and I were raised around music all our lives. My father loved Elvis and Conway, and my mother loved all the Tammy Wynette and Patsy Cline she could get a hold of. Mom and dad took us out of the city of Covington when I was about five or so and took us out to Independence where we would be (in their minds) a little safer. I grew up in sorta a suburb of the country but was heavily influenced by firends, and especially my folks. My grandfather was in a band called "The Four Aces" back in WWII where he played just about any instrument he could and fronted the band. Dad always told me that's where I get my talent from.
I started singin' in church, and fell in love with music at a young age. I got my first guitar about 12 years ago, had one lesson that cost me $10, said, "the hell with that guy" and taught myself. I don't claim to be a great guitar player. Never wanted to be. My passion was singin'. I loved to entertain people with my voice. I can keep up with the band and jam out at campfires, but I leave the music to the musicians. Back in 1997, I started performin' and competin' at Opry Houses in KY, OH, and IN and had done very well for years. Won a few, placed a few, never lost any though so that's good. Folks kept telling me to get a band together, and hit the local club scene, to showcase my talents....so I did.
My band and I have been jammin' out throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana for several years now, and anyone who's been to one of our shows...(I mean parties), can't stop talkin' about 'em! There are plenty of great local bands out there that do their best to sound great. Some of them, like my friend Dallas Moore, have a totally original sound, and some of them sound a lot like the artists they are playing. I think we do both. We can jam out somethin' from Stevie Ray Vaughn, hit 'em with a George Jones tune, and then throw somethin' oringinal out there, and you know it works when the crowd thinks another band just took the stage. We have such a variety of songs rangin' from artists like Conway Twitty to The Doors, there's no tellin' what you might hear.
I was signed to the Independent label of Baritone Records for a while, and released a single with "Tired of Reachin' for No One", and "I Don't Want to Lose You". The single sold out very quickly and has recieved some regional and international airplay. I have since left Baritone, and my band and I just released our first full length CD titled "The Night the Angels Cried".
Yeah, Music City. Been there...done that. Played the "who do you know" game, but being a little fish in a big pond ain't my idea of a fun. Don't get me wrong, I'm ain't afraid of gettin' dirty and payin' my dues. I give 110% every night, and work my ass off for every crowd, but my life is my family. Being on the road 24/7, would be difficult while raising three little girls. If I could do both, you'd bet your ass I would. But let's be honest, wouldn't you'd rather catch a big fish in a little pond, than have to tell your friends a story about the one that got away?
I tell ya what, I think I am getting the hang of this entertainin' thing and I thank God everyday that I am able to do what I do. It may take off, it may not. There is so much talent out there that needs to be heard and seen, but if you get a chance to check me and the band out, there ain't no smoke, ain't no mirrors, or lazer light shows. It's real country in dirty bars where you might get beer spilled on ya, but what you see is what you get. What you get is... THE BEST IN "CINCYCOUNTRY!"

Prayer needed for Mary Robinson. She is an 11 year old girl with a disease that attacks the liver. She is at Childrens hospital now with possible phenomenia. Not looking good. Her liver is so swelled it is collapsing her lungs. Her mom is a stay at home mom. Her dad works at Beacon in Walton. They have two other children and will need help with Marys medical as well. I will be forming a bike run for this as soon as I can get it together.
