DIZZY G. GILLESPIEIn the great tradition of Texas Gunslingers and Guitarists,DIZZY G. GILLESPIE has proven worthy of his Texas roots. DIZZY hasmastered both blues and rock genres. This ability makes his performancesexciting and memorable.
Whether he is singing, playing the mandolin or executing acomplicated guitar passage, DIZZ puts his entire heartand soul into his music. His accomplished band members complimentDIZZS unique style. Sometimes it seems that they all performas one. Their synchronicity onstage is awe-inspiring.
DIZZ has worked with many musical legends including but not limitedto Bugs Henderson, Doyle Bramhall Sr., Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd,and the Kentucky Headhunters. He has also shared the stage with Ty Tabor(Kings X), Howard Leese (Heart), Seymour Duncan, Matt Smith, JockBartley (Heart), Kirby Kelley and Jim Shuler of Point Blank.
DIZZ had a near fatal car crash in route to Venice Italy duringa European tour. He had just performed an acoustic show at Plume DArtin Lyon, France. Fortunately he made a complete and successful recovery.Robin Concannon of WTTS Radio in Indianapolis, said, "If you get a chance to see DIZZ do an acoustic show its a must." The Cleveland Newsreported that, When DIZZ is on stage there is an electric connective energythat is alike almost to that of the Allman Brothers of the 90s. Mark Andesof Heart remarked, "DIZZ and these guys have more fun onstage than I'veseen in years." Greg Martin of the Kentucky Headhunters said, after a DIZZperformance, "Good playing and singing, good tones and good tunes thatswhat Dizz and these guys are all about."
You gotta dig a band that still plays their own instruments and arent scared to lay it on the line. Music has to have heart. These guys have it in abundance.
In addition to having much respect from his musician peers, DIZZhas been called upon to endorse many products. Those that he has chosento endorse include Everly Guitar Strings, Cleartone Strings, Morley Pedals, Dean Guitars, Guistarpicks, St. Blues Guitars, US Masters Guitars, & Texas Traditional Custom Guitars.
Today many artists rely upon technology and smoke and mirrors in thestudio and on stage to make a favorable impression. Once you experienceDIZZ and his band you will know, that in the tradition of our greatestguitar legends, DIZZ and his band are the real deal.

Member Since: 3/8/2006
Band Members: For Booking Information Send Request To: [email protected]"THE BROKEN SOULS" MIKE MOLINA DRUMS MIKE was born in San Antonio, Texas. He started playing drums at the age of 5 and feels very fortunate to have been raised in a family driven by a variety of music. Mike quickly developed a solid passion for music which immensely widened his harmonious cultivation. He has a very rhythmical approach to his style of drumming and has a sincere comprehension for melodious tincture, which adds to the true life adroitness of the music he plays.

Mike has played & recorded with a number of rock, latin, metal, funk, alternative and blues bands such as River City Slim and The Rhythm Kings, Driver, The Vault, Kindred Spirit, DAM, Crucifer, Texas Heat, Bobby G & Texas Roadkill, Scraps of Life, Jake Owen, Sticks & Stones, Streetwise, Earth & Pass, Clifford Scott, Augie Meyers and a few other Texas musical icons. He opened and shared stage with Blue Oyster Cult, Arc Angels, Eric Johnson, Killer Dwarfs, Monte Montgomery, The Godz, Bessie Mae Smith, Santers, Augie Meyers, Bo Diddley, Flaco Jimenez and many others.

Mike plays an all Maple wood drum set by Gretsch, with Evans Genera2 skins. 14” x 5” Ludwig “Black Beauty” with a Remo Ambassador head and cymbals by Paiste & Zildjian.
RON WILSON BASS / VOCALS RON is a professional in the music industry and works with artists in many multifaceted ways as a very accomplished bassist / musician and a brilliant attorney. Bassist and friend to the late blues legend Lighting Hopkins. Longtime family friend to the Antones; Susan and her recently departed brother Clifford who played so vital a role in the shaping of Austin’s live music scene. Rappers “Lil Flip”, Scarface and his own son Colby Wilson have found in Ron a smart devoted ally.

Ron breathed life into this band with his energy, vision and excellent musicianship. Always very current and well versed in his musical styles; Ron plays 4, 5, 6 & 7 string basses in an elaborate state of the art amplification system.
BILL CAGLE KEYS / VOCALS BILL is a great entertainer. His instinctive ability to interact with the crowd shows his extensive training and experience in his field. His natural God given gifts showed themselves at the early age of eight. Vocal lessons of course were to follow, which would inspire him to teach himself to play keys, and some guitar.

Bill's exceptional music inspiration has lead him to many great opportunities in both the music and film industries. He has toured with local, semi-national and national acts in various capacities throughout his 30+ year career, and has performed, recorded and worked with a small string of heavy hitters in various genre.

He also has an impressive string of stage and movie acting credits as well. His light hearted and cheerful demeanor makes working with Bill carefree and fun, but his professional work ethic demands nothing but the best.
