Introduction
I have been playing bass with The Lodge Brothers since 2001, after running into Wayne Schell (the original “Lodge Brother”), an old acquaintance, at a local winter Bluegrass festival in St. Louis, MO. We had been friends since the early ‘70’s when we both attended most of the Bluegrass festivals in the tri-state region of Missouri, Illinois and Iowa. I hadn’t seen Wayne since the early ‘80’s when I had semi-retired from the Bluegrass music scene while my son was growing up.
Been Playing Since
I started my musical journey playing piano at the age of 8. During high school, I changed musical instruments and played electric lead guitar in a Rock n’ Roll band (late 60’s). In the early ‘70’s, I got hooked on Bluegrass music and began playing an upright bass while in college. Today, I’m still playing that same upright Bass!

The Lodge Brothers play a variety of music, including old-time fiddle tunes, traditional and contemporary American folk songs, and some Irish tunes as well.
