"It all started in the summer of 1991. . My parents purchased tickets to attend a Judd's Concert. I was very excited but had no idea the impact that this one show would have on my life. After seeing the mother-daughter combination put on an awesome show, I knew that this was what I wanted. I was going to play guitar and entertain anyone who would listen. After a year of begging my parents for a guitar, they finally bought me an old classical guitar and scheduled my first guitar lesson.
Four years later I started singing at local open mic nights in town, and singing every Friday and Saturday night during my high school days. I also joined my high school's Swing Band. I took every chance I had to perform. I began writing my own material and eventually invited my sister-in-law, Tina Michelle to sing....
I now have established my band, a great group of accomplished musicians, songwriters and singer. I have played for such acclaimed artist as The Oakridge Boys, Billy Vera & The Beaters, The Nelson, Sally Taylor, Ty Herndon and Hal Ketchum.
Music is in my blood, it will never go away. I write about what I feel, see and know is real. I set out to take my audience on an emotional roller coaster. One that will leave them wanting more...I hope you enjoy my website. "

“Folks looking affordable and exciting musical entertainment will enjoy Riff Raff’s lively mix of vintage jazz and swing tunes from 20s, 30s, and 40s. All accomplished musicians, the members of Riff play in a variety of acoustic styles. At a Riff Raff gig you will hear a bluesy blend of jazz standards, gypsy jazz, and Texas swing. Great nostalgia. Riff Raff’s sweet and lowdown sound is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. This is a swingin’ blend of vocals and jazzy instrumentals that creates an instant party atmosphere.”

Per their website: "
The men of Sugar Ray all grew up in sunny Orange County, California, with the exception of the Pasadena-raised DJ Homicide. "
According to their Rolling Stone bio:
"Genre: Post-Grunge, Rock/Pop, Alternative/Punk, Funk Metal
Hometown: Orange County, CA
Sugar Ray owe a great debt to the powers that make their fusion of styles so darn catchy. Somehow, the union of hardcore Speed Metal with growling vocals, the sunny, feel-good songs with shimmering acoustic guitar, grungy guitar-driven rock and DJ Homicide's groovy beats make a unified sound all their own. Fueled by the popularity of their ubiquitous first single 'Fly' and singer Mark McGrath's pin-up looks -- the five-piece SoCal band seem likely to beat Warhol's 'fifteen minutes of fame' prediction.
