Tom was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL where he has been entertaining people with his distinctive vocal style. Around 1980, he started performing in various nightclubs in and around the Jacksonville area. He has a natural talent that sometimes leaves trained musicians wondering why they have to work so hard at something that comes so naturally to him.
DENNIS PRIES
Dennis was born and raised in Waterloo, Iowa. At the age of 13 he started with a pair of drum sticks and used the couch as his drum set. After many lawn mowing jobs he bought his first drum and continued with odd jobs until he had a full set. During High school he played in the marching band and jazz band. Then directly after high school he joined a band that went on tour and also played with numerous other bands during his off time. A few years later he joined the Navy and continued to play with fellow sailors, performing gigs overseas. After 22 years of service he still has the desire to play music.
JESSIE WAGNER
Jessie was born in a little town just northeast of Memphis, TN. A few short years after high school, he joined the Navy and took his love for music abroad. He played in three different bands that performed at numerous USO shows throughout Europe playing Top Forty and Rock and Roll. His first introduction to playing country music was with a band called “Blue Steel” from Jacksonville, FL. Over his twenty-four years of service and dedication to our country, Jessie kept his dreams alive by playing whenever and wherever he could. In July 2004, he answered an ad in the local newspaper and became one of the founding members of SOUTHERN RUKUS.
Phil Jones
Phil began playing guitar at age seven in his family's gospel group, and never looked back. He has two solo albums to his credit, as well as numerous recording credits with other bands over the years, including five albums with Southbound, with whom he played for some 28 years. He has shared stages with stars including Mark Wills, John Connelly, Johnny Van Zant, and members of the Allman Brothers Band.
DOUG KOHL
Doug started his musical journey at the age of 4, sitting at the family piano with his sister learning what all those little black dots on the paper meant. As the only 4th grade trombone player in the 6th grade band in school, no musical instrument was safe if Doug was around. Continuing thru High School marching, concert,and rock bands, Doug continued to add more instruments to his arsenal. After 8 years of service to our country with the US Navy and several years of slugging it out of the Blues trenches of Minneapolis music scene, Doug moved to Florida where he was a member in Vince & The Viceroys and also The Restless Kind band.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
