The Band
Joey Carmon
“I give credit to Susan Taylor Carson, Carl Jackson and Jerry Reed for the way I approach playing guitar and banjo.”
With 7 CD’s to his credit. his latest endeavor is by far the most difficult and the most rewarding. “I started working on some of Jerry Reed’s songs which have taken me years to figure out. I thought if I put together a Jerry Reed Tribute which would include some of his hits like, “Eastbound and Down”, “Amos Moses“, “Guitar Man“, “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot” along with those blistering fast instrumentals like “Jerry’s Breakdown“, I could stay busy for years just perfecting the show!”
Curt Lee
Curt taught guitar while majoring in music in college and has 40 years experience as a professional guitar player/lead singer/songwriter. He has toured in Europe, recorded his own CD and played country and R & R music his whole life which makes him a perfect fit for the JCB. Curt is a retired school teacher and has a reputation as the kind of musician who can show up at the last minute and perform a show with little or no rehearsal. One of the highlights of Curt's career was to be on stage and backup Glen Campbell when Glen sat in with his band in Reno NV. In fact, Curt's CD is a tribute to Glen Campbell!
