ABOUT
I am currently the lead guitarist for THE BELAIRS SHOW BAND here in Cincinnati. The Belairs are a Las Vegas style show group playing 1950s, 1960s and some 1970s music, complete with costumes and choreography. The Belairs feature four-part "street corner" harmony, humorous entertainment with audience participation, and dynamic impersonations of the great oldies stars of the past. The Show includes tributes to Roy Orbison, Dion, Dusty Springfield, Billy Joe Royal, Jackie Wilson, Tom Jones, Leslie Gore and many more favorites from the past,
Please contact me if you are in need of an additional guitarist or replacement lead guitarist or just a sub for one or two shows if your guitarist is sick. I have 50+ years experience (I have played around the world (literally) in a Navy band, I have produced CD's, played almost every kind of venue from private parties, to bars/clubs to large events) so I have some experience (some of which I would not want to repeat (smile). I know my instrument quite well and can either copy a song or improvise it as we see fit for the group and the sound we are trying to achieve.
