Gary Bauman- Guitar/Vocals
A native of Southern California, Gary Bauman grew up listening to the surf music of Dick Dale, The Ventures, and The Beachboys. Playing guitar from the age of nine, these influences shaped his early playing. Later, as lead guitar for the classical rock band, Haydn, he opened for Ike and Tina Turner and the 60’s rock band, Love.

With his Telecaster on his shoulder, his hard driving country blues sound helps to shape the music that is The Jeb Brady Band.
