MUSIC MOVES ME.IT COMPLETES MY PERSONALITY.<br />
I MOVED TO THE U.S.A. IN 1997 WITH HOPES OF ATTENDING BERKLEY SCHOOL OF MUSIC. AFTER  REALIZING HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS, I ENDED UP STAYING IN DETROIT. HITTING ALL THE BLUES JAMS I COULD INTRODUCED ME TO MANY DETROIT BLUES VETERANS. I WAS HONORED TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH MANY OF THEM. SO THIS EXPERIENCE AND PRIOR WORK IN BOSNIA (THAT  INCLUDES MANY HUMANITARIAN CONCERTS AND ACTIONS WITH "WAR CHILD" ORG.)HELPED SHAPE ME INTO WHAT I AM TODAY. I HAVE BEEN GRACED WITH THESE PEOPLE`S ADVICES AND INSIGHTS TO THE BLUES AND BEYOND. I THINK THIS WAS MY DESTINY AND IT GAVE ME MUCH MORE THAN A CLASSROOM COULD.<br />
I HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO ALL THESE PEOPLE.<br />
I HAVE HAD MANY PROJECTS IN SEVERAL YEARS BUT BEING A PART OF WELL TUNED ROCKIN` MACHINE CALLED "BROKEN ARROW BLUES BAND" MAKES ME FEEL AT HOME. BEING SURROUNDED WITH SUCH TALENT, AND FRIENDS ABOVE ALL, IS A DREAM COME TRUE.<br />
<br />
LET`S ROCK ' EM GUYS!!!!!

After his service to our Country, Rudy played all over Detroit & Michigan, for that matter in several sucessful bands, where he started playing Bass out of necessity, and has remained on Bass to become one of the area'a best. Rudy is as diverse as they come, and stables a large contingent of students, as well as playing with several top A room bands when is is available away from Broken Arrow Blues Band. Rudy's vocals are smooth and serene, with soul from the gut that becon the listener to where rudy is coming from during our performances.

Hailing from, Louisville, Kentucky <br />

      Well , it all started when Mom took me to see Gene Kruppa in 1963 down at the world famous "Bakers Keyboard Lounge" in Detroit. and well , I guess it had some impact on me. I couldn't wait to play like that!!!  WOW!!!   Since , I've been inspired by the world's great Drummers like Gene Kruppa, Buddy Rich , Pistol Allen , J.C. Heard , Pete Erskine , Mitch Mitchell to name a few.........<br />
<br />
    I take my craft seriously , and I do my best to better myself and my chops everyday by goin out to see as many live Musicians practice their craft as possible. I was traditionally trained throughout school and numerous clinics with the likes of Jazz great, Jerry McKenzie of Stan Kenton fame and great players like Candy Johnson among a few.......<br />
