The next day, he got a guitar, started a band, acquired tunnel vision, taught himself to play and began gigging everywhere he could.
Performing has always been a passion, from his first gig in the cafeteria of his junior high school, to his most recent gig, as a ‘Santa for Hire’. His story is a long, colorful one.
As co-founder of seminal, country-rock group, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, his passion has taken him into clubs, onto television, into videos and onto stages around the world. One of his most recent stages is the red velvet throne he sits upon, portraying Santa.
“You can get any drunk, put a fake beard on him, prop him up in the mall and give him thirty bucks. But, if you have a real beard, people will notice and pay ‘you’ more for ‘his’ appearance at ‘their’ function”, notes Supe. “I learned, a long time ago that the court jester is a legitimate and well playing occupation.
He still actively records and performs with the Ozarks (now into to their 50th year), as well as his numerous side projects. At 70, he lives in Nashville, TN, where he’s resided for the past thirty years, running his small record label/publishing company, Missouri Mule Music. He still gigs as often as he can.
The net he casts is a wide one.voir moins
