A self proclaimed truck driver with a guitar whose daughter contracted spinal meningitis at just two weeks old. Kip is a Texas native who was kicked out of school. A performer who enjoys putting smiles on his audience that began due to The Beatles. His first show was in the 6th grade, worked with the likes of Merle Haggard and was the first person to record the track, "Trashy Women."
Maybe the only person to receive a speeding ticket on a bicycle who loves to drink!
At age 24 his daughter, Jessica was born and contracted a virus that led to spinal meningitis. She was said to be blind by age 9 and not live past 16. Today she is 45 years old! Kip credits The Shriners Hospital as he cares and takes her on the road with him when she is not at her caring facility. Kip plans on traveling and performing until he cannot do it anymore. He gives you some locations you may find Kip on stage as he refers to Streator, IL as regular America.
