Gary Applegate performed as a solo in the 2012 River City Ohio Blues Competition and was selected to represent the Blues Jazz and Folk Music Society of the Mid-Ohio Valley, in the 2013 "International Blues Challenge".
Gary incorporates guitar, a baseline, foot percussion, harmonica and vocals, all performed simultaneously without looping or sequencing. (It's a fat juicy sound that'll make you want to shake somethin'.)

In 2011 Gary, together with Sal Barbera won the “Road to Memphis” blues competition sponsored by the Dayton Blues Society and advanced to the “International Blues Challenge”.

The duo was a featured act at the “2011 Winter Blues Showcase” and represented the Dayton Blues Society in the IBC.

The International Blues Challenge is the world's largest gathering of Blues acts selected through an international search by “The Blues Foundation” and its Affiliated Organizations.
After three days of intense competition on Beale Street, Gary and Sal had the honor of advancing to the semi finals.

All of the audio and video presented here was recorded live in one pass with no overdubbing. What you hear on this site is what you will get at a show.
Enjoy.
