For a listing of my full schedule and The Grumpies  schedule, click on the "schedule" page for details.

Whether it is today's top country or yesterdays country classics, rock and roll or classic rock, even some blues, I have enjoyed playing and entertaining audiences for close to 30 years. While using keyboard sequencing (midi files), an electronic vocal harmonizer, and playing my own guitars,  I can create an evening of music for everyone. Whether you like to dance or just sit back and enjoy the many different styles of music, I am sure you will have a country rockin' good time!

If you are looking for something different, I also play with "The Grumpies". This 4-piece band plays a variety of music featuring myself on lead guitar and vocals, Johnny Walker on bass and vocals, Pierre Mahar on lead guitars and vocals and last but not least the leader and founder of The Grumpies, David Petit-Pas on the drums (we also let him sing once in a while too!). This band does many songs from the 50's and 60's rock and roll era but we also delve into some old and new country as well. It is always exciting to do a show with this band. It's great fun, great music and lots of dancing!

THE GRUMPIES

Well, Saturday, October 22, marked the final performances of Frank Tamas, guitar and vocals, and Jerry Zavodny, keyboards, bass and vocals. They have decided it's time to leave the Grumpies for personal reasons. Dave Petit-Pas and myself would like to extend our very best wishes to Frank and Jerry and a great big thank you for all the time they put into the band, Frank 10 years and Jerry 4 years. They are amazing talents and we will miss them.

Dave and myself are going to keep the Grumpies going with a little help from our newest members, from the duo "Loosends". We are pleased to welcome Pierre Mahar, guitar and vocals, and Johnny Walker, bass and vocals. It is going to be an exciting time for the Grumpies and we can't wait to see you all out there dancing to our music once again!
