Gary West was born and raised in a rural farm area 35 miles east of Indianapolis, Indiana. His given name was Gerald Boger Jr. In 1985, while on tour with Tommy Cash (brother of Johnny Cash), Tommy told Gerald that he needed a new name if he was going to be in show business. Later that night during Tommy's performance, Tommy introduced Gerald as, "Gary West on the drums.” The rest, as they say, is history. That same band that was backing Tommy Cash that night was formed by Gerald in 1978, The Royal Aces. Amazingly that band continued to perform all over the US and Canada for 13 years. In 1988, Gary moved to Nashville, Tennessee in a 1963 GMC 4104 tour bus with everything he owned in that bus…and the journey began.

After a few short weeks in town, Gary landed an artist gig with Grand Ole Opry star, Del Reeves. Gary went on to perform with many country music legends such as Little Jimmy Dickens (12 years total), Jett Williams (1 year), The Drifting Cowboys (1 year), Del Reeves (2 years), and backed up many legends like Johnny Paycheck, Jean Shepard, Charlie Pride, Hank Thompson,

History

In 1982, Cox and Drummie formed the band Go West, with Cox as lead vocalist and Drummie on guitar and backing vocals.^[4]^[5] The name "Go West" was chosen due to how, at the time, the duo felt that the British public were more attracted to music that came from America rather than their own country (in a similar vein to The British Invasion).^[6] Go West had a publishing deal and possessed a portastudio, but lacked a band or recording company.

Keith West (born 6 December 1943 in Dagenham, Essex, England as Keith Alan Hopkins) was the lead singer of Tomorrow, a 1960s psychedelic rock band. West composed most of the band's songs (duly credited to Keith Hopkins). Despite critical acclaim and support from DJ John Peel, who featured them on his "Perfumed Garden" Radio London show, the band was not a great financial success.

In 1964 West became lead singer of "In Crowd" a rock band from London, which was renamed to "Tomorrow" later. One of the members of the band was the guitarist Steve Howe (later "Yes"). In 1967 he became acquainted with Mark Wirtz, a producer who had already created the instrumental title "A Touch of Velvet, a Sting of Brass" (1965). Later on the melody became theme song for the German music TV show "Beat-Club" and "Musikladen".

West himself is perhaps better known as a participant of Mark Wirtz's A Teenage Opera, completed in 2002. He was the singer of "Excerpt from "A Teenage Opera"", also known as "
