These guys are the best players in Bakersfield. I was very fortunate to have them doing gigs with me! Tanner and Billy were
founding members of Big House- Country Music's only rockin' country blues band save Lee Roy Parnell.
Michael Dias moved on later to San Luis Obispo CA where he keeps himself busy playing 25 or 30 bands at once! Yes he's
that good. Collectively, this guys are at the top of my 'A' list!

Based out of Auburn California, The Legendary Stardust Cowboys... was an amazing band! We did everything from straight
country to rockin' country blues to hillbilly jazz! This was the big fish that got away. Too much of that white stuff & Jack
Daniels I guess!
Gary still has the band going and features original band members Ronnie Elkins & Olen Dillingham. Great musicians! Gary &
I were the founding members of this outfit starting back in 1980, until it exploded on a Canadian tour in September of 1985.
My ears are still ringing from the blast!
