Soldier Manqué for Ron Paul 2008

Come one, come all!

About Me



Soldier Manqué (pronounced "Man" - "K") began after the demise of The Guitar Outlaws (R.I.P. 2005). My debut album will be out in August and I will start a fall tour mid-September. If you know of a great place in your town that I should play, please let me know.

You are now marked on my profile visitor map!
