Manny
Manny is a native of Los Angeles, CA. He picked up a guitar at an early age and hasn't put it down since. Manny was a student of Jazz and classical guitar and studied under a playfully abusive Russian Immigrant named Igor Gregoriev.
Before leaving L.A., Manny played in numerous Rockabilly bands including Rene Dalva and the Lonesome Trio, and the Western Swing/ Rockabilly band The Western Wreckers -- which once had the pleasure of opening up for Junior Brown. As for his own musical projects, Manny even fronted the long lasting Jump Blues/Swing band Crosstown 7. Others with whom Manny has had the honor of sitting in include well-known musicians Dawn Shapely and Big Sandy.
After 1 year in Oregon Manny started his search for musicians that shared the same admiration for Rockabilly, Surf and 50's Rock & Roll. That's when he and drummer John Sperry started the Hi Fi Ramblers.
