Rudy Flores: Keyboards, Vocals

Raised in San Jose, Rudy started playing guitar and piano as a child, around the age of eight. Mostly self taught, he started playing with rock bands by the age of 16. He played mostly in the bay area performing at school dances and battle of the bands contests. By the age of 18, he could be seen playing the local clubs around the bay area and had the opportunity to play at the Filmore in San Francisco. Also a studio veteran, he has played with bands such as Shiloh, who also opened for Suzy Boggus, at a concert in Clear Lake, and locally with one of Reno’s hottest country bands, Clear Blue 22. In Clear Blue 22, Rudy had the fortune to open for Mark Chestnut and Deirks Bently. Rudy’s vocals and keyboard mayhem bring that extra spark to the Crimson Collar camp.
