The Lone Star Pickerz have been playing to audiences all around Central and South Texas for almost a decade now. The current line-up is going stronger and busier than ever.

Come on and meet the guys!

Wayne Martin is the front-man, lead vocalist and plays rhythm acoustic and electric guitar and mandolin. (He's known as Wayne-o to the PICKERHEAD Palz) His hometown is Ft. Worth (COWTOWN), Texas, where he grew up on Country music. Wayne loves to sing, especially fun up-tempo songs plus tear-jerkin' classic Country ballads too.

Thomas Lowry is our incredible lead guitar player who is very versatile! From smokin'-hot Country licks to ice-cool Blues riffs, awesome Blues slide-guitar it's easy to hear his 25 years of playing has finely honed his guitar skills. Vocally, this Jackson, Mississippi, native wails both Country & Blues tunes that people to love to hear and dance to.

John Damaini is a drummer of 30+ years experience, and is a phenomenal talent and a solid pro, originally from Los Angeles, CA, (but he's lived in SA for many years); John is one of the finest drummers in TEXAS! John masters all of our styles on his gorgeous Pearl drum kit, or his Roland electric kit. His commitment to his craft shines in a wonderful blend of rhythms that he coaxes from his drums. He instantly creates a beat dancers can't wait to boogie, 2-step, waltz, polka or just GET DOWN to.

"Tooter" Ripps is our resident low-down man. A long time bass player, he's played with a whole bunch of folks. Just people like Willie Nelson, Ray Price and a bunch of others, that's all. He and John have played together for longer than some of you folks have been alive. Come see why he just keeps on kickin'.
