Gary's long awaited 4th album will arrive December 15, 2011. "LOMAX", is a tribute to the man who through his love of Cowboy & Folk Songs travelled extensively through the west, over a 100 years ago, documenting Cowboys and their song. John Lomax's first published works was, "Cowboy Songs", in 1910. Gary researched obscure writings that had no musical composition and sometimes no author, and brought back these wonderful stories in song.
Gary is now a performing arts member with the Mid-America Arts Alliance. Any non-profit organization that would like to book Gary for an event can get up to 60% of his fees paid through a grant with the Mid-America Arts Alliance.
