I have been playing guitar since 1982 but started out as a bass player professionally. Through the years I've played in studios such as: Buddy's Studio, Media Productions, Cinderella Studio (Nashville), Justin Peters Music (Nashville), Songs For The Planet (Nashville), Studio 101 Productions. I've produced and recorded demos for: ABET International Music Group (Nashville) Pitched demos to Mercury Records/Millhouse via Russ Zavitson. I've been co-writer on songs with Nashville songwriters Connie Wolfe aka: Constance, Ron Taylor, and Justin Peters and was a friend of the late, great songwriter Ben Peters. I sang backing vocals on a demo with the Hee Haw Band produced by steel player Russ Hicks and played in a band with Dave Hicks, the former bass player for the Hee Haw house band. I've jammed with Hee Haw's own Vicky Bird, Doug Stone's guitarist Dennis Brown, and helped in sound for Keith Whitley. I've sat in with a band named Back Alley which had Exile's former bassist Sonny Lemaire on board. I was in Nashville on business in 1998 and sat in with the Hall of Fame Lounge House Band several days in a row in which the audience was extremely please with my performance."

I have been playing live for over 33 years. I do like it and still play out along with the fact I am concentrating on recording at home. My latest recording "I'll Get Him Back" is now available worldwide and can be heard at bubbyrne.hearnow.com

I have a varied flavor in my playing style on the country side. The rock side of my playing is so widely varied that I cannot give an example other than to say I am pretty fast and a good bit of "attitude" in my playing in that genre. Some say that that I have a blues edge/flavor in my playing. My Jazz is all over the place. My Bluegrass playing sucks (I make it sound country) I don't dance on the stage when I play. I am comical and whimsical at times. Mostly, I let my guitar performances do the talking. I enjoy being a team player or a stand out performer.

I play a 1998 Fender Telecaster with EMG pick-ups. I use a Boss GT-1000 guitar processor. I play through a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 amplifer. I use a brass slide that I designed. (I have the only one in the world like it!)

I have performed over 4000 gigs in my 27 years of playing. I have never missed or cancelled any gig that was scheduled. I took one week off with notice for my wedding day and honeymoon.
