lead vocals - rhythm guitar
I started playing guitar when I was 12, thinking it would help me pick up chicks. Turns out that really doesn't work. Ten years later I'm almost ready to give up on the whole idea. But in my life long search for sweet chicks I've learned a few songs and, oh yea there's that song I wrote that's #1 on the freakin radio. I just think it's sweet that I get to hang out, drink beer, and play music and get paid for it.
I play a Dean Acoustic guitar, a Fender Strat electric through Peavey amplification.
I've been inspired by a lot of people like Mr. T, Walt Lafty, Chris Cornell, and Britney Spears.

lead guitar - vocals
So there I was....(Sorry Anthony I stole your line)
I was forced into the role of lead guitar when the band realized that I was the best guitar player on the planet! Just kidding, far from it actually, but I love to rock with this band. It's like we're family, Oh wait, we are. I am influenced by everything from Elvis to Eminem and everything in between My favorite guitarists are Joe Bonamassa, Nick Perri, Mark Tremonti, Angus Young, and anyone else who just flat out rips it up. I play Dean and Fender guitars through a Crate amp, Damn thing isn't loud enough though.
Famous last words: What are we...some kind of sweet rock band?

bass guitar - harmonica
LAYIN DOWN THE BOTTOM. Bass and harmonica player and self appointed worrier for the band. I was also involved with producing the lead guitar player and lead singer.
I’ve only been playing bass for about 3 years. With the help of a great teacher and Corey and Cole’s constant support (pushing) I’ve progressed well enough to stay in the band (it’s to hard to say Dad you suck, your out) I learned to play as something I could do with my sons. What a feeling to stand back there working a bass line with Corey up front ripping a face melting guitar solo and Cole tearing up the lead vocals. I feel very lucky to be a part of this group.
Influences: Paul McCartney, Sting, Geddy Lee, Flea, the list goes on.
I play a BG Custom bass (yep, BG stands for me, I made it myself) and a modified Bronco bass. I play through a great big Peavey amp called "the bitch", and of course I play Hohner Marine Band harps.

12 string guitar
Raised by hyenas deep in the Yucatan, Joe Roberts stumbled upon me and taught me to play the 12 string at the age of 12. Joe then introduced me to Cole and then I met the rest of these rock stars! They’ve taught me how to speak English and I’ve taught them a few things about ROCK! I did have a few lessons from a one-eyed guitar God. I play a Yamaha 12 string, and a kick ass American Strat through a Line 6 Spider 2 amp. I am influenced by Beavis and Butthead, Tenacious D, Mr. Rogers (he taught me how to tie my shoes), and my mom.

Drums
Hello partiers and music lovers just wanted to write thanks
to the friends and families for the love and support you've given us. It's been a wild and crazy
time, every minute of it has been a blessing to me. I also want to thank Brett, Corey, Cole, and Eddie
for taking interest in my playing and allowing me to jam with them. I started playing in the band this
past July and though it's been a short time since, I feel like these guys are family. My instrument
of choice is Pearl, export series drum, Zildjian cymbals, Vic Ferth sticks, and Tama, Iron Cobra double peddle.
My favorite choice of music is Rock: Mudvayne, Dreamtheater, Rush, Dave Matthews. My favorite musicians are Neal
Pert, Mike Portanoi, Spag, and Carter Bevford. Favorite TV show is The Family Guy (Stewie Rocks) Favorite activities
other than playing drums are going to the dog track and winning big, snow boarding, traveling, and just going out.
Well enough about me, I hope to see all of you and your friends at our next show. Till then as Joe Roberts would say,
"Drink Beer, Party Hard, Don't Let Your Meat Loaf, and Rock Out With Your C..." never mind, you get the picture.
Lots of Love. Anthony Long.
