Before bootcamp, I played one of my last sets in Albuquerque at a Tractor Brewing Co., right before I went to boot camp. In A school down in Texas, I didn’t have my steel with me because we were only there for 6 months (4-5 of those months we had a curfew and it was expensive to Uber & Lyft an...

Jerry! I appreciate the feedback sir! It took me a while to get to where I am now. If it hadn’t had been for Marty and the band, I would’ve quit playing long ago. I really appreciate your feedback and I wanna be one of the young guys that can carry the instrument on.

Hey there! I started playing the steel after graduating high school! It is true that they are expensive. I literally had to set aside money from each paycheck I earned working at a pizza place over a year to afford a BMI. Now I own an MSA SSII from Marty Broussard. I’ve had the honor of sitting in...
