The Band

Dean Ashley on Drums/ Dennis Long on Bass/

Almost thirty years playing in clubs gives me the experience I need to know how to work a crowd. Whether performing my original music or doing a dance set in a club environment I know how to keep the people entertained. I pride myself in having a large and diverse repertoire for a party atmosphere.

My original music is Americana and varies from blues and modern country to rock-a-billy. When performing as a cover band we can play Country, Blues, or Classic Rock. Usually it ends up being a mixture. Normally we perform an hour set first with a 15 minute break then 45 minute sets there after. That's really up to whoever hires us. The band name is, "Built On Blues". I like to perform cover songs that have passed the test of time and can be enjoyed by any audience regardless of their personal favorites. A typical set might be:
OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL
HURT SO GOOD
