Dale Collier - Drums

Dale Collier Jr. started playing music in 1986 at age 10. He learned everything he could about the snare drum. He began learning how to play and read music, moving up the ranks in concert band. Playing and recording original music, playing in cover bands, hanging out with friends and other fellow musicians, he was officially in the music scene! There were several bands throughout this journey. Betwixt & Between, radio edit, Self Inflicted, and the Blaise Streets band. He also sat in for many acts while playing in these bands at different periods of his musical career, he loved to continue his education and learn as much as he could about his instrument. He attended Aebersold jazz camp, at the U of L school of music campus, and took lessons locally. He also met and took instruction under Ben Sesar ( recording/ touring artist for Brad Paisley) in Nashville TN. After a long break, he received a text message in 2022 that asked, “You still playing drums?” he met up with the guys in the Willis Tucker Band and started his new journey playing drums again.

We like to make you dance, we like to make you sing. We play a mixed bag…a little of everything.

 Between all four band members, we have hundreds of songs under our belts ranging from Waylon Jennings to Jason Aldean and Skynyrd to Mellencamp. We’re all about the songs we grew up listening to as well as the current songs of today. We also write and record our own stuff.

We’re just a bunch of down-home guys who work hard, play harder, and live by the rewards that a cheering and dancing crowd on the weekend brings.
