Started a band back in the 1965 called The Malibus. I was the drummer and lead singer at the time. When I got out of the services, I went on the road with a country band called the Common People, and toured Oregon, California, Nevada, and Arizona. Started a top 40’s band in the 70’s called Big Moma and her Boys, and later in Country Rock band Sharion Sue and Stained Glass. When I got married, I settled down in Klamath Falls, playing drums in local groups at the VFW and American Legion. When my mom moved into a retirement home, I started learning to play the guitar, learning some of the older songs from the late 50s and early 60s, and playing that type of music for the residents. I picked up a Harmonizing machine and found a very unique sound for playing my songs. Now playing lots of places in town, like the Farmers Market, Retirement Centers, and the Senior Citizens Center. Leap of Taste, Elks Lodge. Updating and mixing in more 70’s music into my song list is helping me keep up with my clientele.

Robert Kerns is a guitarist and vocalist from Klamath Falls, Oregon.  He developed a love of music early on and started playing cornet in the school band in fifth grade.  This was fine, but when he entered high school, he found his true love, the guitar.  This led Robert to join the high school stage band on guitar during his senior year.  

Robert started playing in bands around town and, at 23, moved to Southern California with the band Black Dove to hit the scene.  Eventually Robert put music on the back burner and focused on a career in technology, all the while learning the ropes of recording music on the computer in his spare time.

In 2023, Robert started doing solo acoustic shows after performing at an Open Mic at Mia and Pia's Pizzeria in Klamath Falls. This led Robert to form the band King of Denial.  Robert still occasionally does solo acoustic performances, although his primary focus these days is performing and recording with the band.  King of Denial has released several singles on all of the major streaming platforms and is currently working on new material in the studio and preparing for the summer gigs.

Their music is propelled by heartfelt singing — marked by Trisha’s distinctive growl — and Jim’s soulful harmonica, woven together over the steady rhythm of guitars. Spinning Gold’s goal is simple yet powerful: to bring good music, fun, and laughter to every audience they meet.
