The Heritage of Harmony & The Power of a Full Band Sound

"Music isn't just what I do; it’s who I am. I was born into the rhythm of Davenport, Iowa, carrying a gift passed down from my father, Ricky Hines—leader of the legendary Stardusters. I lost my father, but I kept the music, and for decades, I’ve been refining that inheritance into a performance that defies the label of a 'solo act.'

I offer so much more than a man with a guitar. By blending soulful acoustic strings with personally  programed rhythm  machine—delivering complex, hand-crafted rhythms—and the raw wail of a blues harmonica, I create a wall of sound that feels like a four-piece band. Whether you’re looking for a high-energy night of dancing or a sophisticated afternoon of storytelling, I bring the right gear and the right groove for the room.

With a massive repertoire of over 250 songs covering 150+ iconic artists, I bridge the gap between genres and generations. My sets are a journey through the best of:

• 60s & 70s Rock: The anthems that defined an era.

• Classic Country: The heart-on-your-sleeve stories of the road.

• Deep-Rooted Blues: Gritty, harmonica-driven soul.

• Authentic Folk: Intimate, finger-picked reflections.

From the high-energy drive of a crowded dance floor to the relaxed atmosphere of a vineyard with a glass of wine, I provide a professional, versatile, and deeply personal musical experience. I don't just play songs; I carry a legacy, one beat at a time."
