Meet The Band...  Laurie Larsen – Bloomfield, Nebraska - Rhythm Guitar and Vocals
A 42-year veteran of the music business, Ken’s rare vocal style and ability commands crowd attention. An admirer of many music genres, his favorite is 50’s & 60’s Do-Wop. A professional drummer since age 15, Ken is also a skilled bassist and one of the few who have mastered the mighty Ibanez 5-String Bass guitar. Additionally, Ken sings Lead or Backup on either instrument. His dry wit is always a hit with the crowd and also keeps his band mates laughing every night! Dave has been playing for over 40 years and with so much experience he is considered one of the best lead players in the area. Dave played in bands with Dave Dudley (Six Days on The Road artist) and Johnny White (Two old Maids Sleeping in the Bed artist) plus has opened while in the band with Connie Lee for twenty one years for national acts: Merle Haggard, Ronnie Milsap, John Conlee, Ray Price, Travis Tritt, George Jones and others. Dave has a humor all his own and is a great addition to this band and can play anything. Just name a tune, and ask him to play it! Howard Grimm – Lynch, Nebraska – Keyboard and Vocals Howard’s music career began with piano lessons in 1957 and continued for three years culminating in an inability to read music, much to the frustration of the teacher. "YOU'RE PLAYING BY EAR, AREN'T YOU?" Elvis Presley and his guitar was a big influence in the mind of this young wannabe musician so the piano was put by the wayside in favor of a string instrument. The sixties Rock 'n' Roll scene found Howard performing onstage, much to his enjoyment, but even that came to an end when Uncle Sam invited him into the Vietnam conflict. Marriage, child rearing and ranching put the brakes on Howard’s music career for a while but an invitation to get involved with music once again arose, when he was able to perform with his son in a local Nebraska country dance band 15 years ago. Howard has been playing ever since and the electric keyboard has become his favorite instrument. PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS! |
