The Roadhouse Jukes
The Roadhouse Jukes came about from a friendship I have had for over 30 years. We have played together for a very long time and decided it was time to make our own music. The writing, arranging, rehearsing and recording of this CD took about 2 years. There is alot of other material that didn't make it onto the album.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
From time to time, when we are invited. Concerts only. Performing live is the best.
Your musical influences
I have been a composer, bassist, and guitarist for a very long time. I have many influences.

King, Albert Collins, Howlin' Wolf, Ray Brown and too many more to mention.
What equipment do you use?
