Christian/Country Music by Les Vaughn

Les's very popular "Back Porch Boogie Band" of the 80's was selected as the 1988 headliner group for the annual "Clark County Sausage Festival". He remembers that particular night as one of his most memorable performances. The band was repeatedly cheered back to the stage for four encores before management finally dropped the surrounding fences to disperse the crowd of over five thousand.

In the year 2000 Les was selected as a showcase performer for the "CCMA" convention and awards show which was held at the Downtown Sheraton Hotel in "Nashville, Tennessee". The entire "Fender Benders Band" traveled from Oregon to attend this huge event. In Sept. 2001, Les, Ted Matzen and the "Fender Benders" were featured in a full spread, two page article in "Positively Entertainment Magazine". The "Fender Benders" were advertised as the "Headliner Band" at the first ever 2002 "Hoodstock" festival in memory of 9-11, which was held on the banks of The Columbia River in Hood River, Or. We saved a live recording of that performance and also have a copy of that Cd for sale. It is the "Hoodstock Live" cd. You can find it on the website www.lesvaughn.com

"Les Vaughn" was, and still is greatly inspired by the songs and styles of many of the great musical artists, which include to name a few: "Carl Perkins", "Elvis Presley", "Johnny Cash", "Marty Robbins", "Chuck Berry", "Hank Williams Sr." and many others. "Les Vaughn's" voice, as you will be sure to agree, is very captivating. When he is singing and playing his guitar, his deep, resonant voice will surround you with full resonance and "presence" that many other male singers just don't have. The Mayor of Dufur, Oregon, in 1993, at the annual "Threshing Bee" was heard to say "I thought God was singing Johnny Cash songs out of the sky". Les will touch your heart with his original love songs. He has the ability to rock your soul, cause tears to run down your cheeks, or make you laugh. All are signs of a truly great performer and entertainer. Some say "he sounds more like Johnny Cash, than Johnny Cash" when performing songs that were made famous by this country music legend.

Les is presently busy playing for a few private parties and wedding receptions etc. and is working on writing and recording another Gospel album for release in late 2006 along with a new 2006 Christmas album.
