Gary Trotter is the singer and guitarist for the band. He was raised in Coffeyville, KS and attended K-State University. Gary has been playing guitar and singing for several years. After Leaving K-State, he moved to Tulsa and found him self in the local music scene. Later meeting up with Rick they begin to put the band together. Erwin is originally from Enschede, The Netherlands, but he has lived and worked in various other places such as Switzerland, Belgium and New Jersey. He has played guitar since age 16, starting with just classical for a few years. He then started playing lead guitar for various local heavy metal bands, never with much fame, but with lots of fun. Later, he branched out to cover bands, blues and even folk. The last band he played in focused on originals that were reminiscent of the 80's rock bands such as Saga, Yes and Journey. This band, called Medusa, also recorded a 5-track CD. Keith Ward is the Bassist and backing vocalist for the band. Keith grew up in Fredonia Kansas, later moving to Tulsa. Keith was first taught to play guitar by a gospel guitarist at the age of 12, and later moved into playing rock and country bands. Keith has been a compass for the band with an extensive knowledge of marketing, he has helped us come "out of the garage" so to speak. Rob Butler is on the drums and backing vocals. Originally from Virginia, Rob has travelled a lot and lived in many places, thanks to his time in the Navy, and has engineering and management degrees from universities in VA, TX and AZ . He has played in jazz bands as well as R&B, blues, country and Christian (praise and worship) bands, but is happy to be back to his roots of playing classic rock. Rob brings many years of experience playing in bands in a live setting, his most notable gig playing in a band for every port that his Navy ship docked at during a Mediterranean Sea cruise.
