About Us
The Short Change Band is comprised of three core
members (and a lot of guest musicians). The
Band specializes in southern rock, classic rock, new
and old country music and blues music, plus original
music composed by members of the band.
Kevin Winters – vocals, lead & rhythm guitar
Kevin Winters provides lead vocals with a velvet
voice, as well as rhythm and lead guitar, mandolin,
and dobro. Kevin is a 30+ year employee of Frito-Lay
(wow, how old is he, anyway?) and lives in
Binghamton with his wife, Cindy. Kevin has been
writing the original music that Short Change has
recorded and performed.
Mike Debetta – vocals, drums
Drums are played by Mike Debetta, who also sings
lead and back-up vocals, and occasionally plays a
mean bass guitar and congas as well. Mike lives in
Afton with his fiancé' Andrea, where he is a
volunteer fireman and fire police captain, as well
as an EMS provider.
Darrell Dennison – bass, keyboards
Darrell Dennison plays the bass guitar and
keyboards. Darrell was a radio announcer and Dee Jay
for several years, and lives in Kirkwood with his
wife Tammy and two sons, Matt and Collin. Darrell
has a passion for music, sports (hockey, baseball,
football) and computers.
The band is also fortunate enough to have great
support from their spouses, who attend gigs and
assist with equipment and set up, and lend a hand
whenever necessary.
With over a century of collective experience,
Short Change has a vast repertoire spanning all
genres of music. The band is a tight-knit group and
enjoys playing together, as well as taking band
field trips to various music festivals and other
interesting places.
