Dallas Wayne
Excellent old-school country singer on Hightone Records. The Hi-Beams will be backing up Dallas when he visits Colorado in December 2002.

Halden Wofford and the Hi-Beams
My favorite country singer, and not just because I'm the bass player. Halden is the real deal, a great singer and songwriter.

Whiskey Trip
My other band, featuring smoking guitar and pedal steel from Dave Shapiro and John Macy, and the great vocals of Rachel Simring.

The Railbenders
Outlaw country from one of Colorado's hottest acts.

Lil' Bit and the Customatics
My favorite Texas band. Old school Rockabilly and Honky Tonk.

Denver Barn Dance
A guide to live country music on the Front Range of Colorado. One of my most popular web sites.

Sally Van Meter
Colorado resonator and steel guitar player. Sally has been out on the road recently with Jorma Kaukonen. This is another of my web sites.

Rockmount Western Wear
Legendary Denver western shirt company. If you see me out playing, I'm probably wearing a Rockmount shirt.

Mark Rubin
I learned everything I know about rockabilly-style slap on upright bass from a video by Mark Rubin and Kevin Smith. Lots of folks can say the same, including the Del McCoury Band's Mike Bub, who told me so hissownself. Buy it direct from Mark if you want to learn how to play this way.

Bill Kirchen and Too Much Fun
I had a great time talking music with Bill recently at a show he had in Central City, Colo. He's a great player and even better guy. Go see him if he comes to your town.

KGNU
Boulder public radio station that has a great country show, Honky Tonk Heroes, 6-9 a.m. on Saturdays. Don't miss my favorite DJ, Doctor Martin.

Joe Sixpack's Guide to Hick Music
One man's vision of country music. Tons of information from this Bay Area critic.

The Dalhart Imperials
A great honky tonk/western swing band out of Denver.
