Self taught myself how to play when I was 16. Joined the army at 18 and traveled with my guitar on my deployments to keep myself and others entertained. While I am partial to rock music I love to play all kinds of music and do not limit myself to one specific genre. After nearly 22 years I will retire from the Army in June.

Dan Shanahan Bass and vocals
Dan Shanahan has been the bottom end of the band for over 10 years, playing all styles, feeling every note, and always ready to lay it down. He is also the biggest fan of music you've ever met, which means you never know where his next influence will come from. Always steady, always ready, Dan puts the rumble in your seat every time you hear him.
Dan Stahl Drums Vocals
Dan "Dusty Nuggets" Stahl plays drums the way it should be done. It's hard to catch him unprepared and he is the most honest of time keepers. Quick with the sticks but even faster with bad jokes, every song is brand new and full of life.
