Mustang
Mustang is once again a band. All the songs already on here are mine, so nothing changes in that regard.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Began in January 2001 as a 4 piece called HiredGunz. Ultimately we became Mustang, Our opening for Craig Morgan at Beulah Sausage Festival 2003 was our highlight so far playing to a crowd of a few thousand! We also opened for Tracy Byrd at Springfest 2002 and Rushlow at the Sausage Fest in 2004. We played for our third year in a row at the sausage fest opening a day-long entertainment extravaganza including Andy Griggs and finally opened for Erika Jo for the 2006 Sausage Festival. Then I moved to Arkansas for family reasons and have finally found the band members to reestablish MUSTANG.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Soon! We are just newly formed, but ready to go. The 4 of us each have over 30 years experience performing. Our main goal will be to get into the casinos in Mississippi and festivals all over Arkansas.
