Skeeter McGee To Close Out Sesquicentennial
With members hailing from Greensburg, Moores Hill and Columbus, Skeeter McGee will rock the square to close out the Sesquicentennial celebration Saturday night.
The band was started by Rob Bruns, vocals and acoustic guitar, in 1996, playing a country style of music. In 2003, Roberto “Chavez” Barajas, lead guitar, and Bryan Messer, drums and vocals, joined the band, and the music became more pop oriented. Rich Bryant, bass guitar and vocals, joined the band in early 2006.
In just the last six years, the band has played approximately 300 shows, consisting of festivals, night clubs, benefits, and wedding receptions. The band has always been willing to offer its services when needed. Skeeter has been playing local Greensburg events such as the Relay for Life and Fall Festival for many years.
Skeeter McGee’s music is in the style of "Hootie and the Blowfish meets Sister Hazel". It is acoustic-based pop rock, built on the signature vocal style of Rob Bruns, who resides in Moores Hill. The band prides itself on providing a great stage atmosphere, giving an interactive show that is enjoyable for people of all ages, regardless of what their favorite type of music may be.
The band has just released its latest original CD, "Music in Dog Years". The eight tracks were penned by Rob Bruns, with one song written seven years ago, and another that came together in the last few weeks. The disc was recorded at Russian Recording Studios in Bloomington, Ind. The band has several more songs in the works, and hopes to provide a follow up disc in 2011.
Barajas lives in Columbus while Bryant and Messer will be performing for their hometown.
Closing ceremonies and entertainment will begin at 5 p.m. on Saturday, with Skeeter McGee finishing the evening and the Sesquicentennial celebration with song.
