High Desert Queen Concert History

High Desert Queen was formed when singer Ryan Garney and guitarist Rusty Miller went looking for for a rhythm section to help complete some songs they had been working on. The stars aligned just right when Garney met drummer Phil Hook (Monte Luna) who quickly came on board. Now with HDQ adding Bobby Kirk to help with guitar and vocals, as well as Morgan Miller to hold it down on bass, HDQ is ready to elevate their play.
