Jody Hanks of the Bedrockers and the Hunyuckers.

My partner Brandon Lenz and I have been working together for 16 years. Brandon is an exceptional musician and a dear friend.  And we put a little band together called the Hunyuckers. It's just Brando and myself and a really good time. Covering the Everly 
Brothers to the Beatles and all sorts of Americana stuff in between. Our focus is on our harmonizing and cool covers. For a good time, holler Hunyuckers.

This is my first band - The Lap Stones, or The Stones as my 7th grade friends called us... We wrote and performed our own material. Who could forget the big hits like - "Love Is Kind", "Pride", or "Have You Been Telling Lies To Me Girl?”

Got hired by a band out of east side St.Paul, called Raggs. Opened up for a lot of great shows such as Edgar Winter Band, James  Brown, April Wine and many others.  We would play The Cabooze four nights in a row, Wednesday through Saturday, and pack it every night. Obviously the DUI laws back then were a little more lax.  Lot of memories with these guys... Buffalo and I went on to form the original version of the Bedrockers many years later.

My next band, The Metro  All Stars (aka The Metros) was probably not only my favorite band, but my favorite group of human beings on this planet.  We appeared on the "original" American Idol - Star Search - and won one week, and were kicked to the curb the next.  Released two recordings, Night At The Prom and The Metros.
Signed to MTM-Capitol records, toured throughout the country playing our own brand of rock and roll and soul music.  I wish I had recorded all of the antics that went on inside our van on the way back and forth to the gigs.  Monty Python-esque humor had us forever falling down laughing. Very entertaining group of gentlemen.  Unfortunately we'll never be able to regroup because we lost our beloved Andy Bailey.
