History
South Central Band
Oldies Band
I am lucky enough to have a rich musical history. My grandfather, my father , my uncle , and myself, all play instruments. I began playing at a early age and my dad was nice enough to pull me up on stage to sing a couple of songs with his group when I was 5. I continue to play every week, and sometimes you will see my dad or uncle in the paper performing locally. Grandpa has since passed away but the music lives on!

Cowboy Chris may not be a real cowboy but dont tell the kids at Roxana Day Care. The kids had good time Friday watchin' Cowboy Chris rustle up some good music. "Sponge Bob Square Pants" along with a rendition of "You get a line, I get a pole" were just some of the songs the kids sang along with.
