Biography:

I started bass playing guitar in high school. I, like many other people,  was inspired by the Beatles. Along with Mike Ragsdale we formed a band called the Underwood Project. Adding to what Mike said about the band we became the house band for a while at a San Francisco style coffee house in Paducah called Rico’s Coffeehouse. Some of you may remember the place, it was way ahead of it’s time for Paducah. After the previous band I was in had broken up Ken and I approached Mike Ragsdale about forming another band featuring much of the music we played while in high school. I have always played music in one form or another since high school but this format is definitely my passion.

 

Favorite Group:

The Eagles

 

Favorite song the band does:

I Heard it in a Love Song

 

When not playing with the band or working what do you like to do best:

I enjoy spending time with my family especially my two grand-daughters. I spend a lot of time working on remodeling my house, a life long project. I enjoy traveling as much as possible, especially to Florida where my son lives. I don’t hunt , fish or play golf so I guess music is my hobby.
