Darryl Rhoades

About Me

Performed all over the US and Canada from 1975-88 with various original groups such as "Darryl Rhoades & The Hahavishnu Orchestra" and "The Men From Glad". Articles in Rolling Stone proclaimed he couldn't miss, but he proved them wrong. His musical groups were heavily into satire and compared favorably to The Fugs, Frank Zappa, The Tubes and others. The transition into standup was an obvious and easy choice to make in 1988 where he has been working a mininum of 48 weeks a year since that time. To date he has released ten comedy & music CDs which can be heard on his website: www.music-comedy.com and nationally syndicated radio shows such as The Dr. Demento Show. His CDs can be purchased on his website or CDbaby.com and downloads can also be obtained thru various site directed on CDbaby.com His website also has his bio history, pictures, schedules and more.
