Here is are some samples of what MadWagon does 😉
Next up for the Madwagon, playing for and also backing Mark Slaughter, March 8th in Portland OR. Then opening up for the venerable Anvil, on April 14th.

Jack Foolery was a four piece band full of riffy, story tellin, rock band from Portland OR.   Larry Smith sang lead  Ronny Trueherz was the riff generator and guitar player.  Kit Bohannon is a monster bass player and melody maker.  It rounded out with me pounding the heads and singing back ground.  They even have me singing lead on a track I wrote, called Home.

I also had been singing lead in a fun cover band called Monkey Bizness.  Super fun group of guys.  Rodney Hardison plays lead guitar in it as well.  Along with Danny Littlefield on lead guitar, who also plays for Agnozia – its double the fun.  Rounding out with Dirk Ward on drums and Jeff Moran on bass, its just all around a fun group of guys, making music and giving folks a great time.  But, with Covid and other pressures – this band has taken a break.  Hopefully we can put some kind of Monkey fun back together again!

In a former life, I played drums and sang backup for a four piece Christian rock band called Saint John.  It was a lot of fun.  Several iterations with members coming in and out. It was started by my old hometown buddy Jay St. John (get the hook there?) with Mark Deymaz and Louie Leonardo.  We went and played in Germany and Spain.  Played in the Chiles Center and Memorial Coliseum here in Portland too.  Was really proud of the work we did with that band.  At one point it was 9 months straight, every weekend.  We played from Central California up to BC.  Bob Gerig, Mark Brotherton, Jaimies Laurie, Eric Brown were all members at one time or another as well…. Did I forget anyone?  It lasted 10ish years and we had two full albums and one EP release.  Fun times and good memories.
