Mean Gene Kelton  Lead Guitar, Lead Vocals, Harp Photo by Texas Blues Talent   A veteran performer for over 25 years, Mean Gene Kelton was "born in Mississippi, on the wrong side of the tracks" as one of the hit songs from Most Requested says. Kelton's shoot-from-the-hip style crosses the musical spectrum from down-home dirty blues and rockabilly through Americana, Southern Rock and Classic Rock 'n Roll. Mean Gene Kelton formed The Die Hards in 1992, and hasn't looked back since. Email Mean Gene        Wolff  Bass, Vocals Originally from San Diego, California, Wolff prowled the West Coast from Mexico to Canada searching for “just the right band” that had “that feeling”. His quests eventually led him to the “Mecca Of The Blues, Clarksdale, Mississippi where he “paid his dues” for five years as part of the “Blues Elite” at Morgan Freeman’s world famous Ground Zero Blues Club. He performed with (and often toured with) many of the famous blues legends passing through. One night a lil’ old band from Texas (“Mean Gene Kelton and the Die Hards”) came passing through... the rest is history. Email Wolff
