Greg Hardin - Bass
--Greg came to me via Ruthie Logsdon of Ruthie and the Wranglers a couple of
years ago. I got lucky.
He can play anything on that thar bass fiddle, is an award winning writer,
singer, and a pro's pro.
Greg spent 25 years on the road touring and can do it all, except sleep... my favorite
tall person.
-- Patty is your best friend in life, and one of mine. She's the sister
I never had, which of course has
produced it's moments over time. The stories are too many to list, and
after being with me for
almost five years now she has the energy to tell them, and I don't.
Ha. Yea, yea, yea, I know,
she's a girl drummer...come listen though, she puts the Earl in girl.
;) The best chick around...and
she will kick your ass, in time, all night long. I promise. Love ya baby.
Chris Sonnenberg - Lead Guitar, Slide Guitar
--Talk about a musician. After graduating from Berkeley school of music,
Chris honed his guitar chops
in Austin Texas for many years, and has recorded and played with many of the
greats in
country music. A stint in a band with Junior Brown and steel great
Jimmy Day, plus trading licks with
good friend Danny Gatton over the years, have put Chris on a guru-ish type
level. He plays stuff
that hasn't been invented yet. Ask him to invent something when you
see him...he likes a challenge.
Gary
Lee Gimble - Pedal Steel Guitar/Dobro
--Considered one of the best instrumentalists on his rig in this
hemisphere...Gary likes fine wine,
cigars, and he is anatomically correct. His greatest love involves this
picnic table with
wires strung across the top, sometimes referred to as a BBQ grill or the
pedal steel guitar.
He makes this complicated piece of machinery whine, sing, and moan.
(Insert joke here)
He resides in Maryland...the thinking man's Delaware.
Joe "Witchita" Cribbin - Acoustic Guitar
--Joe has been playing music with me since right after
high school, where we both got some acoustic
guitars within about 3 weeks of each other. He
gave up a promising ballerina scholarship in Tehran
to stay with the band and continue flavoring our rhythms
with his icy cool strumming. Thanks for hangin'
in there buddy! Joe hails from Washington D.C.,
which he seems ok with...
