Jeff Clair & Half Past Lonesome have announced the addition of Kenny O'Quinn as the newest member of the group. Kenny will be stepping into the mandolin role and will also be singing harmony vocals.
O'Quinn is no stranger to the stage having performed with the Tommy Webb Band, Don Rigsby and Midnight Call and most recently as a member of Dave Adkins and Republik Steel.
Jeff Clair says "Were all glad to have Kenny as the newest member of the band. I look forward to all the contributions Kenny is going to bring to the band with his playing and singing as well as his creative contributions.”
Kenny say's "As of a few days ago The Lord put an old friend back in my life, Mitch Bentley who is currently playing bass with Half Past Lonesome. Bentley asked if I would be interested in picking some with the group and I jumped at the opportunity. Mitch and I played together in the Tommy Webb Band and I can't wait to get that chemistry flowing again. As a sideman in Bluegrass, you never know where you are going to wind up. I am looking forward to this new adventure and I can't wait to get back on the stage and do what I love doing."
The first concert with the new band configuration will be at Natasha's Bistro in Lexington, KY Saturday February 1st. Reservations for the concert are available at beetnik.com
