Werner "sassanmenwendy, the player" plays Fender Bass (1963 Jazz Bass), don't know how long he plays already for me...uups; a great bass player for your band, but I don't sell or borrow him!Gerhard "The Voice", the singer of the B.R.B. since 2006. His timbre goes from "River Deep to Mountain High", hehe...Georg "Dr.Ummer", the youngest member of the B.R.B. since spring 2006, on of the most talented drummers in our country, replaced Alex, who emigrated in the USA to find his musical fortune...Alex is not playing guitar in the band at present (great guitar player, look at 'Blue Jade' here on myspace).

Martin is our keyboard player for big concerts and lives in Vienna. He is a very busy musician, playing a lot of styles with the effortlessness of the wind when playing with maple leafs...Great pianist!
Jeff, "The Harmonica" is playing with the Blues Revival Band at bigger gigs. A great blues-harp player, quite sure the best sounding "Harmonica" far and wide...
