Born in Garden
City, MI. My Mom said I came out singing, I’ve been singing
since I can remember. My first concert was at 3 years old, singing
for the neighborhood with a tennis racket as my guitar, I was singing
Vicki Carr.
By the time I
was 12 years old I had learned guitar and sax and started my first
band it was with my four great brothers and sisters. I met Jimmy Kay
in Junior High we started a band called Teardrop. We’ve been
together ever since. I went into the Military out of High School and
played in the 82nd Airborne Band. After getting out I Joined back up
with Jimmy Kay in a band he was in, it was called "Cherry
Wine". My first gig with the band we changed the band name to
"The Dream" that was 20 years ago! I love singing and
dancing and playing every instrument I can, but most of all I love
entertaining! Helping to let people forget their problems for a
couple of hours and have a great night.
