Originally from Sedalia MO with deep roots in Warsaw MO I now reside in Raytown MO in the Kansas City area and play with several musical groups as well as solo.
I grew up loving the organ music at church and learned to sing for my family at a young age. My Mother played the piano, and my Uncle Leo Galloway was an excellent jazz musician in the 50's. My Father was born with a hearing defect and has always read people's faces and body language. He couldn't hear the music, but he feels it and has always been able to dance a pretty mean jig. I believe he is the one I picked up my talent for rhythm and reading people. I formed a 3 piece band in the late 60's with Glen Spencer and Dr. Richard McDonald. We have written hundreds of songs over the years and still get together when we can to write and perform. Jars of Dark is a CD we released
2023 is in full swing now with the Groove Pilots playing all over KC and the Lake of the Ozarks. Looking forward to Captain Rons, July 22, and Warsaw's Smoking Hot Days Aug 5th!
