In November of 1998, my good friend Jay DuBois started teaching me the basics of playing bass guitar. A few months later we played live at the local American Legion. We decided we needed a good sound system so using the internet I purchased all that we needed and since then we have played numerous clubs and private parties. So far we have played as far south as Rochester, Indiana and as far north as Cheboygan, Michigan.

Jay chose the name, "A Tad Different", because we are always asked what style of music we play and it's difficult to describe. We play a number of styles from folk to country to Celtic and we even do a song Jay wrote called "Redneck Rap". Most of the music we play, however, is original music written by Jay or by our musician friends. We also play a number of tunes by John Prine, Loudon Wainwright III, Mike Cross, and other singer/songwriters.
