Mack Fowler plays guitar and writes the band’s material getting expert input from Danny, Hal, and
Kevin. Mack’s signature guitar sound is fundamental for this band’s direction. Stacks of vintage Marshall
amps and vintage Gibson Les Pauls have long been his inspiration. Influenced by classic rock guitar
legends, Mack creates songs for mass appeal using classic tones, catchy progressions, and solos that
have their own personality. Mack’s compositions often have unexpected directions and pleasing
surprises.
Kevin Hanson provides the thunder and takes Mack Fowler & Co. for the ride! Never without an idea for
the perfect part and appropriate feel, Kevin provides the perfect pace, running our shows with years of
experience. Influenced by all styles of drumming, Kevin brings ideas and professionalism rarely matched.
Hal QR takes bass playing to another level. Writing bass parts perfect for the songs without following the
guitar is just one of his many talents. Adding a third layer to the music gives the band a much-
appreciated dynamic sound with drive and movement.

Bettin’ On Betty, it’s not hard to realize that Mack Fowler & Co. delivers emotion and insights of real life
with a bit of whisky fueled tongue in cheek! Get ready! Mack Fowler & Co. will soon be live and at large!
