Duane began playing guitar at a very young age, and at the age of 11 started playing bass guitar traveling playing gospel music on the road full time 50 weeks a year. Growing up in a talented musical family meant that He was always surrounded by different forms of music. At 17, he traveled professionally, playing one night shows with Chuck Jackson.
