Larry Dado, an inspired and versatile guitarist, has been playing guitar for over 40 years. His father, who was a professional steel guitar player, introduced him to the guitar at an early age. Larry practiced tirelessly until he was good enough to start his first rock & roll band in the early 60's. Starting in high school and continuing through college, he played in numerous bands, playing music that ranged from Motown to Psychedelic. While playing the college circuit, he shared the stage with several popular bands, including the 60's rock group "Smith" and the "Exiles". Shortly after college, Larry set off on a 30-year hiatus before returning to the music scene. For the past three years, he has concentrated on playing the "blues", including taking part in the numerous local blues jams. He missed playing in a band and, as a result, he helped start his current band, "Red House".

Kim Renouf is a multitalented singer/musician and plays several instruments including trumpet, trombone and harmonica. Kim was raised listening to his father's big band albums that influenced his decision to learn and play horns. He played trumpet all through school and then went on a 14-year hiatus. He decided to return to music and began taking guitar lessons. After his first lesson, his guitar teacher encouraged him to go to the Dolphin Lounge and listen to some local musicians. It was there that Kim heard Rick Boals' R&B band that included a horn section that pierced Kim's heart and set off his love for the "blues". He immediately quit his guitar lessons and started playing the trumpet every Monday night at the local blues jams. A few years later, Kim was asked by Rick Boals to join his group. During his time with Rick Boals, he opened for the legendary blues man, B.B. King, at the Newport Music Hall. Kim feels blessed for having the opportunity to play with many of Columbus' finest musicians. Three years ago, we almost lost Kim to a rare infection. He counts his blessing for still being with us today and would like to say to everyone that he hopes his current band, "Red House", will radiate the "blues" in all of your hearts.
