I'm currently having the singing/songwriting time of
my life with Trinity. We're an acoustic trio featuring yours truly along with Amy McFarland and Ted Forbes, both experienced pros
and great friends. We've been at it since the spring of 2008. With a combination of our originals and unique covers we
aim to keep the place jumping and have a really great time in the process. I'm still pulling out some of my older originals
like Crying and Then, Isn't Love Crazy, House in a Dream, Tattered Red, along with some newer stuff like Its Starting
Up Again and Someone's Walking. Ted has
some great tunes of his own and just like mine....they're Trinity's now.
I also play drums and sing a few songs with Elaine and the
Biscaynes. And amazingly enough there still seems to be some tread on that tire. Along the way the Biscaynes have earned
two CAMMY awards, first in 2000 and again in 2001. All the Biscaynes....Elaine Diehl
of course, Ted Forbes (guitar & vocals), Rick
Schalk (keys & vocals), Jan Diehl (bass
& vocals), and myself were featured on several tracks on Elaine's first solo CD, Different Drum, which came out December 2007. It continues to get airplay so please call or email
requests to:
WNKU 89.7 FM,
859-572-7897
And thank you WNKU for your support. Different Drum is available
online at AMAZON.COM or BORDERS Tri-County, Eastgate or Northgate.
Booking and contact info for both Trinity and the Biscaynes can be found on my Contact page.
From 1999 until September of 2006 I was part of the acoustic group
Diamond Blue and we released two CDs during my tenure, In the Rough(2002) and Facets(2004).
I contributed songs, vocals, guitar and drum tracks for the CDs, which are available at local bookstores and music outlets
(Cincinnati area) as well as CD Baby and of course Diamond Blue performances.
Over the years I've had the good
fortune to share the stage in one form or another with Tommy Shaw, Phil Keaggy, Eric Carmen/Raspberries, Badfinger, Rick Derringer,
Percy Sledge, Poco, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Jefferson Starship, among
others. Prior to my work with Trinity, the Biscaynes, and Diamond Blue, I spent time on an extended road trip throughout
the 70s with the following four bands: Ginger Valley (Springfield OH), Strawberry Hill (Houston TX), Connie Lee and the Gunn
Brothers (St Louis MO), and Osiris (Atlanta GA).
