Who's the steel player with Desert Rose Band in this clip?

Post by Dave Magram »

Does anyone know who the steel player is on this videoclip of The Desert Rose Band live at Kumamoto Japan Oct.1992?
Really nice playing!

Bonus question: Very nice playing by the guitarist and fiddler as well-- any IDs for them?

It's tough to find these days, but Tom Brumley plays steel on Desert Rose Band's CD "Life Goes On" (1993)

I don't recall the fiddler's name, but he was playing with Jim & Jessie, who were also on the bill.
That's Jeff Ross on gtr, and Tim Grogan on drums.

The link that David Wright posted I believe was taken from an 'Austin City Limits' show. I feel that performance truly showcased the band at its finest. John Jorgensen (there featured on mandolin, but also a MONSTER guitarist)and JD Maness complimented each other so well musically.

Here are some good pictures of what appears to be the same steel Tom was playing at that concert in Japan:
