Meet the Band:

  Mitch sings lead and plays guitar, mandolin & blues harp.  He has sung lead in rock bands and was the front-man for a popular Beatles tribute show.  He often shows up with one of his rare classic instruments, which include a classic Fender Telecaster, a Gibson ES-335 , a rare Beatles-style Rickenbacker, and a great collection of classic amps, including two vintage Vox amps, a Marshall combo and a Fender Showman tube classic.  Mitch also plays keyboards, mandolin, acoustic guitar, and blows a terrific blues harp solo.
   Mitch's voice covers a wide range, from soft ballads to AC/DC screamers, and he does a great John Lennon on a whole range of Beatles songs.
   In his private life, Mitch is also an artist, works in films, and presides over a 15-acre ranch/farm,  where he keeps goats, chickens, pregnant goats, ducks, dogs, kids, horses and miniture horses.  He also goes to medieval battle as a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism.  (He's the only guy I know who has a full suit of armor, that he actually wears and uses for heroic quests!)

   Terry plays lead guitar in the band and also sings lead and backup vocals.  He plays some nice guitars, including a Schecter Diamond Elite, a Fender Stratocaster, and a custom Larrivee flattop for unplugged performances.  He is also a pretty good closet bass player.  He has toured in successful bands throughout the Northwest, and met Mitch while playing in "Revolver”, a popular Beatles show band.
   In his daily life, Terry is a sheet metal fabricator and co-owner of his own contracting business.  He lives on scenic property in the Colbert area and is the group's first Grandpa (sorry, Terry - no you don't look that old).
   For recreation, Terry loves riding motorcycles (a former Gold Wing tourer, now getting into Harleys) and flying planes.  He is licensed to pilot fixed-wing aircraft, which he does everytime he can get his hands on one, and also loves to fly helicopters.

   Doug is a well-known Northwest bass player, and has been playing in regional bands since the 1960’s.  He plays a vintage ‘63 Fender Precision Bass, and for "unplugged" performances, an Ovation acoustic bass guitar or his rare 60's Kay stand-up bass.  Also a classic instrument collector, he owns and plays a variety of other instruments, including guitars, mandolins and sitars.
   Doug also loves to sing and grew up singing in concerts.  He has performed with rock bands, blues and country groups, and a popular oldies and do-wop band.  He released his first solo album/CD in 2003.
   During the week Doug works at the reference and media desk at a library.  He likes to travel and is an avid Harley-Davidson motorcycle rider.  He also does much of the band's business and is the webmaster for the home page.

   Bob is a well-known and experienced Northwest drummer and has been playing in local and regional dance bands since the 1960s.  He won't say when he started, only that you had to take the broken drum heads, (real skins back then) into the drum store when they broke, and that sticks were only 50-cents a pair.
   He has an ability to keep track of everything that is going on.  This, plus a natural sense of rhythm and wide knowledge of percussion techniques is a key to keeping this ensemble together and tight in the many complex arrangements.
   Bob comes from a show-business family and is a natural performer, with a quick wit and a droll sense of humor.  He also has a good singing voice which adds to the group’s vocal harmony mix.
    Bob lives with his family on country property north of Mead.  He works during the week as a forman at a North Spokane industrial plant.  Bob's an outdoor guy, and for his off-work entertainment is into sailing and water skiing in the summer, and snow skiing and ice hockey in the winter.
