Country Western
Nasheast
Since 2023, Vern has been the lead guitarist with Nasheast. Performing with Nasheast, Vern is currently playing mostly contemporary popular country music. This band performs for private parties, town entertainment and corporate events. Vern is usually the sole instrumentalist for Nasheast playing guitar solos with virtuosity and high energy.
Dave Bond and Real Country
On lead guitar, Vern performed traditional country music with Dave Bond and Real Country since 2003. We provided entertainment for many NJ State Agricultural events and county fairs including the Hunterdon County Fair every August as the featured act. This band held a regular spot on Sunday afternoons at Artie’s Restaurant in Frenchtown NJ for ten years. Dave retired in 2023 and is missed by all.
John Williams and the Honky Tonk Buicks
I was lead guitar in this band for 16 years. During our hay day we were the House band at the Landslide Saloon for most of those 16 years. The band built a regular following that didn’t let up until the sale of the establishment. Some of my best memories of the Slide was performing at the Pig Roasts every Spring and Fall. Long gone are John Williams, Gene Schiebel and Jimmy Thompson.
