Guy Hodson was born in Kansas City, Missouri and grew up in Lee’s Summit. His mother is a gifted professional dancer 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. He 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 Elvis Impersonator Matt Lewis, the late blues legend Lawrence Wright, Seastrings, Drew Six, KC Groove Therapy, and is a proud original member of the Jerry’s Bait Shop Jam Night crew…KC’s longest running jam night at 13 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. He says he loves and appreciates that both of his parents have shown him so much support over the years.
