Simply Driven is a group of guys who like to rock as hard as we possibly can.We are growing together and having a good time doing it.Simply Driven has had quite a few different players along the way and I would like to say there were no bad players, only differences of opinions and different goals. I would like to also thank all of the previous players as they helped me to learn a lot about music that I would have never known had they not been a part of my life. The band was originally formed with one goal in mind to play music and have fun, well nothing has changed that is still the goal to have fun. We are presently trying to bring our song list even more current with songs by some of the top bands playing out there and finally get some of our own material out there. It does exist it is just a matter of getting the bugs out and producing it.Now on the business side of things, for you folks out there who are in need of a band for your wedding,private party,clubs,bars,etc.You can reach me(Dave) at 785-217-7219 for all booking information.

BAND REVIEW: SIMPLY DRIVEN (Sat-Apr 19-Joletta's): David Barnes has put together a solid sounding rock band that performed to a packed dancing crowd Friday night. They have stepped up to the challenge of separating themselves from the pack... and they have delivered... http://www.youtube.com/whatasong (Review: DougRuth)
Tommy-I didn't realize that was you in your band photo. I'm glad to see you're still hitting it hard with your music bro! Keep in touch and ROCK ON!!! Eric Gassen
