Guy Hodson was born in Kansas City, Missouri and grew up in Lee’s Summit. His mother is a gifted professional dancer, choreographer, and singer, whose voice teacher was the world famous KC singer Marilyn Maye. He began singing very young, his first show was at age five, singing The Big Bopper’s “Chantilly Lace” in his mom’s showcase. He enjoyed the experience of performing, but really fell in love with music and singing upon discovering Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. He developed an interest in playing drums from growing up around his grandfather who was an accomplished drummer. Guys parents realized that he had an interest in drums after going through three different Muppet’s “Animal” drumkits as a toddler.

Guy sang in choir throughout school and performed in World’s Of Fun’s variety show “Stax of Wax”. He has played drums and sang with International, Elvis Impersonator Matt Lewis, the late blues legend Lawrence Wright, as well as Seastrings, Drew Six, KC Groove Therapy, 80’s tribute Fast Times, country act Vigil Annie, Nashville Artist Tyson Leslie’s Rare Hare and Purple Jam. Guy is a proud original member of the Jerry’s Bait Shop Jam Night crew…KC’s longest running jam night at over 20 years and still going strong. He loves singing and playing with Troubadour Retrievers because it stretches him musically and never gets old. “One moment I’m singing AC/DC, the next I’m singing Patsy Cline.” He thanks his mom for his appreciation for pop music, but says he owes his dad a price he can never repay for introducing him to Zeppelin and Hendrix.
