rhartman + Musician in Kerrville, TX

SEEKING

ABOUT

Former band leader of Texas Thunder Dallas and Kerrville south Texas version.. Keys and bass are my main instruments and play both equally well. As far as music goes, I'm most comfortable playing current top 40 country, classic country, rock, blues and zydeco (cajun). I can also do lead and harmony vocals if needed. I've had a long music career and have played in local and national acts in the Dallas area so I bring a lot of experience to the table.

These demo songs are live studio cuts and I'm playing keys and doing some harmony vocals. I hope it will give you some idea of what I can do. I love to do horns, B3, piano and multiple instruments on keyboards. As a bassist I strive to play very solid bass lines and love working with a talented drummer no matter the genre. To me what matters is not what you play, but what you don't play!
