Rudy Rudesill playing 5-8pm

I got my first guitar as a teenager and have always enjoyed playing and singing. I learned how to sing in a country church where my family was very involved in singing and playing music. This is  where I learned to harmonize and loved the sound of singing harmony with another person or in a choir.

My influences in music have varied greatly throughout the years. Growing up listening to Gospel and old classic country to today listening to all kinds of singer/songwriters, bluegrass, blues, country, rock or whatever strikes me. Along the way some of my favorites have been southern rockers like The Allman Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Songwriters like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, John Prine, and Guy Clark to name a few. And of course many older rock and rollers like The Stones, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and probably my all time favorite, The Grateful Dead.
