Dave Kelly
Music Style: Classic Rock, Pop, & Standards
Dave's musical roots are firmly planted in the plains surrounding Tulsa Oklahoma; providing him with an influence of style and technique that runs the gamut from fellow Oklahomans as diverse as Charlie Christian (jazz) and Garth Brooks (country).Coming from a musical family, Dave's father was a combination ragtime and classical pianist, leading the way for his eclectic education in music.Outside of the usual school of clubs and concerts in which Dave's skill first flourished, he also carries a degree in music, having come through both the renowned North Texas State program and the University of Tulsa.His authentic approach to the song allows Dave to perform an amazing variety of classic rock, pop, American standards, jazz & country, with guitar, mandolin and drum track, minus the predictable confectionary sound that characterizes a number of solo artists on the circuit.With an extensive repertoire that defies category (Steve Miller to Duke Ellington), and an easy attitude that draws the listener in, Dave Kelly, either as a solo or with his guitar trio, is a perfect fit to bring out the best in your intimate gathering and to add atmosphere to your party.

Steve Guyer & The Excellos
Music Style: Electric Chicago & Acoustic Blues
Steve Guyger is a bluesman. From the moment he heard Magic Dicks harmonica blast on the J.Geils classic Whammer Jammer, his road was set in stone.

He has toured North America with the Jimmy Rogers Blues band, amazed European audiences with his powerhouse harmonica stylings, and backed John Hammond Jr. for some of the most cutting edge harp work anywhere. Recently back from a stint with The Bands Levon Helm, Steve is once again fronting The Excellos, his blues quintet that rocks every house with authentic renditions of timeless blues classics. The Excellos repertoire is vast, and Steves magnetic harp playing leaves streams of admirers after every performance. The music is both infectious and driving. From Sonny Terry styled acoustic blues to full-on electric Chicago shuffles, if its the real thing that you want, Steve Guygers Excellos delivers it with a vengeance.
