About Me

Duff, whose ancestry dates back to the 10th Scottish king of Alba or Scotland, grew up in Waynesburg, KY. He also spent time living in areas such as Charlotte, NC, Los Angeles, CA, Las Vegas, NV and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Nowadays, his home is in Danville, KY. He first picked up a guitar at age 12 and was instantly hooked.His style reflects many of the artists in his record collection. There are greats such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson lined up alongside Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Guy Clark. He combines traditional Country ballads with flashes of Southern Rock and Blues that come together to create a sound that is both familiar yet refreshingly new. "I like to create music that is simple yet complex," he explains. "I love story-songs that paint clear pictures with the imagery of words. I guess that's why traditional Country is probably my favorite genre."Duff has performed hundreds of shows across the country including a number of performances in Puerto Rico as well. His largest performance to date was at a political rally in Kentucky where he performed for Bill Clinton and 20, 000 of his voters.
