Ambush

Ambush, from Shreveport, LA is the premiere party band in the ARK-LA-TX.

Formed in 1990, Ambush is still going strong playing casinos, clubs, and private events. A product of the oldies revival movement of the '90's, their song list not only includes hits from the 50's and 60's but also hits from the 70's, 80's and 90's as well. High-energy entertainment is the only way to describe an Ambush show. “Our shows are as much about being seen as being heard. If someone merely wanted to listen to music, they would stay home. People go out to be entertained.” So whether rock, country, blues, soul or oldies, Ambush is sure to satisfy.

    On drums, Kyle Coleman supplies the backbeat and makes up half of the rhythm section. Originally from Jena, Louisiana, Kyle has called the Ark-La-Tex home for more than 25 years. A professional musician for more than 25 years, Kyle has played with many groups including The Sales Department and Jeaux Phrydae.   

    Steve Kirkland brings a unique blend of talent to Ambush. Principally a guitarist, Steve is equally adept at keyboards, bass, and harmonica. A staple in the Shreveport/ Bossier area for most of 35 years, this guitar-slinger has played in several groups including The Hard Tops, Anxious, and Last Chance.

    Paul Metsger is truly a guitarist's guitarist. His unique style of overhand playing has dazzled audiences all over the country. Having been playing for over 25 years, Paul is no stranger to the local and regional music scene. He was a founder and long-time member of the "Boomers" who enjoyed great success in this part of the country.

    For the better part of 20 years, Shreveport native Steve Patterson has been a regular in the music scene. This bassist has provided the solid half of the rhythm section for bands including the Convertibles.

    Louis Williams serves as keyboard player and guitarist for Ambush. Having played in Troupe, the Convertibles, Walker Street, and with Percy Sledge, this seasoned pro of 30 years rounds out the "A" list.
