Fred Lawrence: |
|
| |
Fred is my husband and best friend. Working behind the scenes as diligently as he does out front, Fred is a very important |
|
| |
part of our music. His harmony singing, rhythm and lead guitar, dobro and steel guitar help to create a distinctive sound |
|
| |
to our recordings and our performances on stage. Fred has had years of experience playing in bands. He has performed on |
|
| |
several TV shows and has backed many artists on recordings. Fred’s passion for music is unrelenting. Between the long |
|
| |
hours spent in the studio when producing and mixing a project and time dedicated to just listening for that ‘next great |
|
| |
song’, I feel I have my own ‘music encyclopedia.’ |
|
| |
|

| |
Ron Jenkins: |
|
| |
A great friend and a wonderful addition to Catherine Lawrence and Gator Creek, Ron plays a 5-string Kay Bass (a rare |
|
| |
model), which he has owned for several years. Ron is rated amongst the top bass players. He has played on several |
|
| |
recordings, and will jump at the chance to play on stage or in a jam. A fellow Nova Scotian living in Port Clyde in Shelburne |
|
| |
County, Ron and his wife Rita are our winter neighbours in Zephyrhills, Florida. When he’s back in Canada during the |
|
| |
summer, Ron spends a lot of leisure time hunting and painting at his camp. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Rich Steenburn: |
|
| |
Another good friend and important addition to Catherine Lawrence and Gator Creek, Rich plays a Gibson banjo with which |
|
| |
he has backed a lot of artists over the years. Rich hales from New York State; and two years ago he and his wife Audrey |
|
| |
became permanent residents of Florida. Rich headed a country band for a number for years and has a CD available called |
|
| |
Country and Bluegrass Favorites. After taking up the banjo he continued to play on several recording as well as in bands. |
|
| |
Rich chuckles when he says that one summer he worked as a “body guard” for Faron Young, all one hundred and thirty |
|
| |
pounds of him!!!! Rich’s love for music is constant and one cannot help but feel his enthusiasm when he cuts into a banjo |
|
| |
tune he wrote and named for Gator Creek. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
At the CD table you’ll meet Rita Jenkins, Audrey Steenburn and Jeannine Duval along with Flo Duval helping with the |
|
| |
equipment. Their loyalty is appreciated and I love each and every one of them!!! Everyone in the group is always ready, as |
|
| |
we say in Florida, for a “shake and howdy.” So make a point to drop by and visit with us! |
