Derringer, a country rock band, merges creative, solid song writing with soulful harmonies and melodic guitar, featuring Sean Paxson, lead guitar, lead vocals; Jeff Huff, guitar, keyboards and backup vocals; Randy Goodwin, drums, backup vocals; and Gary Broyles, bass guitar. Drawing on influences ranging from Brooks and Dunn to the Eagles to classic country, the band has combined many familiar sounds to create a style that is all their own. Derringer’s sound and show have made them a favorite throughout Colorado.
