Shooting Star

"SHOOTING STAR", from Overland Park, Kansas is the other great Rock n Roll band hailing from the greater Kansas City Area. Having their name placed as a -[question in Trivial Pursuit; supplying some of the back round music for a major motion picture named "Up The Creek"; being the first American group to be signed with "Virgin Records"; and having more than five Album releases under their belt, "Shooting Star" has proved to be a formidable force in the realm of the Mid-West and National Rock scene.

The original "Shooting Star" up line included, left to right; Ron Verlin, (bass); Van Mclain, ( lead guitar); Charles Waltz, (violin); Gary West, (vocals); Bill Guffy (Keys) and Steve Thomas, (drums). As noted earlier in this web page,

Gary West is Ron Wests' brother and wrote most of the best "Shooting Stars" material.

The band recently released all five of their original albums on CD and have a new album and national tour semi planned for this spring, 2000.
