Band History:
I am a self-taught guitarist, songwriter and recording engineer. I have been pickin' the guitar and writing songs for 30 years. I have a recording studio that I dabble with and I recorded these tracks you are hearing on this site. I played and wrote all the parts. The RawkDawgs weren't around at the time of it's recording. I have been in various bands, which include; Liquid Poet, Public Interest, The Biznezz, The Cause, and 1-900. I have performed at The Lake of the Ozarks, Mo, Kansas City, Mo, St. Louis, Mo, Boulder, CO as well as other small towns through out the Mid-West. A very good friend of mine Steve 'Buford Mason' Talbot has been a major influence in my musical life. He helped me learn the guitar, and through out the years has been a songwriting partner and a musical inspiration. He is an awesome songwriter and guitar picker as well. If it weren’t for him I would have never picked up the guitar, thanks Buford! I have also jammed with Jon 'Delbert' Axford on guitar, Dr. Todd Wilkinson on saxophone, Rick Kelso on guitar, Alan Hardy R.I.P. on drums, Johnny 'Blind Willie Taylor' Evans on Bass and guitar, Doug 'FatLip' Haush on flute and harmonica, Johnny Isom on bass, Dillfurd 'Skins' Cummings on drums, Chris P on Drums, Wayne Smith on Bass, Stonewall Jackson on guitar and hundreds of other musical brothers out there in the country. I want to thank Robert 'Estelle Thompson' Goode for being such a supportive friend and critic. He is the photographer that has taken all the pictures of Cletus and his friends. I continue today playing gigs with my new band Cletus McDuff And The RawkDawgs. We perform at all the venues located at and around The Lake of the Ozarks in Mid-Missouri.
