As an artist, Derryl's unique musical style
blends the classic traditions of today's Country with the roots-oriented
edginess of Americana and Texas Music. It's a potent style, infused with a
Southwestern flavor that he's picked up through years of songwriting and
performing.
As a live performer, Derryl has
established a growing legion of fans through non-stop touring and a dynamic
stage show of original material that mixes poignant ballads with danceable,
high-energy tunes. Since 2000, he's logged over 800 fair, festival, casino and
major club performances in 27 states. He's also opened for such recording
artists as Diamond Rio, Tracy Byrd, Joe Diffie, Chris Ledoux, Andy Griggs,
Asleep at the Wheel, Gene Watson and Gary Allan.
Originally hailing from Texas City,
TX, Derryl grew up in the midst of a Texas Music scene where the term “Country”
describes a lifestyle as
much as it does a genre of music. His blue-collar beginnings, combined with the
musical influences of such prominent Texas artists as Willie
Nelson, Gary Stewart and George Strait, provided Derryl with abundant
inspiration to draw upon as he began developing his own musical voice. |
