'Loaded Dice' Performs for Downtown Sounds Friday

Regionally based Loaded Dice will be on stage Friday, July 19, for the next installment of Downtown Sounds.

Loaded Dice was formed in Gering in 2000 as a classic rock cover band. The band includes long-time friends Matt Fuhrman and Jeff Winkler, and band mates Ed Mendez and Tom Jones. Their first performance took place in October 2000 using the name "Nowhere Fast." The band changed their name to Loaded Dice just before their second gig.

The band's current lineup consists of Debby Wagner providing lead vocals, Derek Johnson with vocals and bass guitar, Neil Miller on drums, Jeff Winkler providing rhythm, lead guitar and vocals and Shawn Oakes with rhythm and lead guitar. Their music includes songs by Def Leppard, Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bon Jovi.

Loaded Dice plays in the Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota region.

Downtown Sounds will be at Hickory Street Square from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. with vendors and nearby businesses offering food and drinks. Music is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
