"THE DERANGER"
"THE GREAT TAMBOURINI"
Call him what you will. "bottom line" This man is synonymous with everything insane. Armed and "ready to rock or country or even punk", The Madman is a guitar chuggin', bass thumpin', banjo pickin', country/ rock singin' maniac. From the very beginning the unhinged deranger has showcased his style without fear going from his first band in 1992, a gospel group called Crystal Sea, to an earth shattering vocalist, songwriter, guitar, banjo and bass player. The Madman has performed with such pop acts as THE COASTERS, MICKY DOLENZ OF THE MONKEES, American Idol finalist MELINDA DOOLITTLE, and MARTY ROBBINS' cousin Billy Robbins. He did brief stints performing in GREASE in St. Louis, MO featuring both ERIK ESTRADA, and CHARRO, as well as LAS VEGAS, in the production BITE, and has backed up heavy metal bands MEGADETH and Lost Generation, as well as Punk Rock bands Happyfoot and Hyper Active Slackers, Blues rock singer Alissa Joyce, even going as far as crossing over into the Alternative music scene with the band Freshly Shaved. All of these acts The Madman contributed thunderous bass riffs and soaring background harmony vocals.
In the first decade of the 21st century his own rock combos, THE ROCK CRUSADE, WHITENOIZE, AND CHERRYBOMB, have recorded four independently released studio albums, a live album and have taken him on tours in Tennessee, and Missouri, as well as International waters. By the second decade of this century he had released 4 solo albums, and 4 albums with his country combo - THE HOWBOY CATTS.
In 2016 The madman embarked on a very prolific period recording another 4 albums in 3 years and releasing his first country solo album ANOTHER DAY DOWN, along with his very sentimental DREAM A DREAM, his Christmas masterpiece, TWO SIDES OF CHRISTMAS, culminating in his 20th anniversary album, the self celebration album MADE IN THE USA.
2021 saw The Madman morph briefly into THE MUSIC CITY MONKEEMAN as he paid tribute to fallen Monkee PETER TORK with a very heartfelt tribute album FOR PETE'S SAKE featuring an album full of Tork tunes at the beginning of the year as well as close the year with the release THE PRICE OF FREEDOM to commemorate fallen Monkee MICHAEL NESMITH as well as commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and the 80th anniversary of Pear harbor released in December of 2021.
The Music City Madman returned to his rockin' madness to release the no nonsense AOR album - THE METAL ZONE, featuring a returning JASON PARTCH (of the original Rock Crusade) as well as guitar god, RICK BRAVE-LION (of Medicine Mann) layin' down some smokin' guitar leads, as well as the new HOWBOY CATTS album - 3RD LIFE, both featuring the immortal STEVE GOODIE!
Then to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Country Music as a recording art, The Madman teamed with Steve Goodie along with fiddlin' sensation Tim Lorcsh and released a new all traditional style country album "MISSOURI ON MY MIND." This new album celebrated the centennial of the Nashville sound with tunes like Just Between Your Heart And Mine, the semi sleazy, That's What You Do In A Small Town, the very sentimental, Papow's Chair, and the tear jerker, You Don't Smile at me Anymore.
As The Music City Monkeemadman prepares to celebrate his 25th anniversary album, he has gone total STATLER mode, and released a tribute album which celebrates the 60th anniversary of the legendary STATLER BROTHERS. The project contains recognizable classics like Don't Wait on me, as a duet with Steve Goodie, Susan When She Tried, and the very moving More Than A Name On A Wall. As well as a few deeper more obscure cuts like Remember me, A Lifetime Of Loving You In Vain, and the powerhouse Look At Me. If nothing else the album is totally STATLERTASTIC!
