Gene Reid: Retired Arkansas physician who now writes socially conscious Americana songs and produces award-winning music videos.

Gene’s major field before he retired was geriatric psychiatry. He still dons his white coat occasionally and does PowerPoint presentations on dementia for caregivers and health professionals.

In 2021 Gene teamed up with bass man Wightman Harris and drummer girl Debo Robinson, two local music scene veterans. As a Rock-oriented power trio they began working up Gene’s original compositions to play and record, eventually venturing into Country, Blues, and Reggae as well. So far, the Gene Reid Band has produced two albums of music with three-award winning songs and two award-winning music videos.
