Gene Hoover

Gene ( I know that one ) Hoover

Gene Hoover on lead guitar and lead vocals lends a smoothness of voice and personality, on and off stage Gene is a genuinely nice guy.

Gene also knows half a zillion songs . . . . I mean he has that "god given talent that he can hear a song on the radio on the way to the gig . . .and if he gets a request for that song. . . he can pull it off with class unparalleled.

Gene you are awsome. . . .

TJ Mason

This is a guy who knows music. He knows what's right for the song ! and he's got the chops to pull off his vision. If you really want to see a show, see Southbound and you'll get the show from TJ Mason.

TJ has been entertaining crowds with lighting fast licks and smooth sound that has made Southbound famous. We are lucky to have such a skilled master !
