Bruce, the new kid on the block, is an incredible talent and asset to the Liberty Beach Band. As an entertainer, Bruce puts on a show of his own behind the drum kit that you’ll love to watch.
Bruce also, like most of us, spent many years touring the country playing music professionally with the popular 80's-90's rock act THE RIZE BAND, among others.WES WATERS – Keyboards, Vocals
Wes is probably one of the best piano players in our area, but up until now has been Toledo’s best kept secret, and our secret weapon! Previously playing solo for Country Clubs, and Private affairs, Wes also spent a few years on the road with the Lynard Skynard tribute act SECOND HELPING. His keyboard dexterity is at times mind boggling, yet he always plays for the song. You’ll find him tickling the ivories, laying down some thick and sassy B-3, or maybe filling in that brass, fiddle, or banjo part. No matter what he’ll be smiling and playing his heart out. You can also find him onstage with BONKERS.RANDY MEEKER– Pedal steel, Lap steel, Dobro, standard acoustic, electric and Baritone Guitars
Saving the best for last perhaps, but what High-end country band would be complete without the cry of the pedal steel guitar. Randy is yet another multi-talented asset of the Liberty Beach Band. When Randy’s not working on music, he’s working on our web sites and compiling work disks, or researching new material for the band. Randy started formal music training with Duane Tovey from the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, began playing guitar at age 13, but bought a Pedal Steel in his early twenties as rehab from a motorcycle encounter that resulted in broken bones in his right wrist. Randy also owns and runs String music productions,(www.stringmusicproductions.com) Rodney’s local management team.
You can also find Randy moonlighting with his side project, the Ottawa Hillbillies.
