MEET THE MEMBERS
Scott Springfield
-Vocals Lead and Rhythm Guitar-
From Norman,Okla.
Scott comes from a diverse music background. His Grandfather jammed with Bob Wills and Scott grew up and went to school in the Oak Cliff area near such Texas Blues Legends as T-Bone Walker, Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Scott is a songwriter and adds versatility to the band with his wide variety of musical interests. Scott got his start in the OKC area playing with local hot shot guitar player Dustin Pittsley, writing, or co writing 6 of the 11 songs on their debut CD.
Dave Higgins
-Bass Guitar-
From Oklahoma City,Okla.
His first participation in music was in school choir and stage bands as
well as church choirs. When Dave was 14yrs old he was invited to perform
with an Internationally Touring Boys Choir and had his first recording
experience with his home town church choir. Recently, Dave has recorded
with a Traditional music group and two of his songs have been in National
Competition. He has a wide interest in all types and facets of music. He
is so into Music Theory he thinks in Roman Numerals.
Lewis Gillette
-Drums-
From Anadarko, Oklahoma
Loui was nine years old when he received his first set on drums. Unfortunately they were toys made of cardboard and he destroyed them within a week. At the age of 11, Loui played his first professional gig for $20. Through High School Loui played with a variety of bands. As a versatile and all around musician, Loui has played in the back up bands for many major country music stars. When not playing with the Crosstown Blues Band, Loui teaches drums in the music store he and his wife owns.
Jimmy Rogers
- Lead & Rhythm Guitarist-
From Anadarko,Okla
Jimmy taught himself how to play the
guitar. His inspiration came from going to a Jimi Hendrix concert in Norman,
Okla. He started playing Bass guitar in 1971, and has played with a few
different bands over the years. We are lucky to have him in our band. Instead,
of reading music, he closes his eyes and feels the music when he starts
to play.
We have been together for 3 yrs, and play at Public Events, Clubs, Private
engagements.
