Playing with Redd Volkaert at the MN State Fair

Post by Ernie Renn »

Hey, kids;

I had the distinct pleasure to perform with one of my 6-string heroes, Redd Volkaert and Sirius Radio guy, Dallas Wayne at the Minnesota State Fair August 28th & 29th. It was a blast!

I finally uploaded 11 video clips of the first day. Let me know what you think and which ones you like the best...

Great playing Ernie. It's like you have been in that band for years. The steel just fits so well with Redd who (just never seems to run out of ideas on the guitar). Tight rock solid band....Love it

First time hearing you play Earnie.. sounds great! What an inspiration Redd is and Wayne ain’t too shabby either! Great to hear and see this style of playing being featured somewhere, thanks for sharing!
I thought Nashville was the roughest, but I know I’ve said the same about them all.
I received my education, drivin through the Nation listenin to Paul!.. ( Franklin that is! )

Can't go wrong here. They are all great. Redd is a treat and Dallas does a fine job. Ernie is no slouch and really shines with this group.

Thanks to all of you for the positive comments. It was a fantastic experience!

Redd a master guitarist and one of my heroes! (Redd was a Stranger with Merle Haggard!) and Dallas, who is a great singer, as well (I’m now a fan!) I believe they played together when Redd was in the Heybale band in Austin, TX. Rounding out the group was drummer, Al Stumpf, (one of my favorite drummers!)
My best,
Ernie

Super job Ernie and a cool gig. Can't beat this combination of talent. Redd has such great tone and killer chops. A pure pleasure to watch.
