Band Members: Rob Brumfiel 1955-2008 We mourn the loss of our dear friend and musical brother who passed away on December 18, 2008.
Robbie was one of those rare guitarists who could take your breath away. His fluid, edgy style was coupled with impeccable technique, and his credits ran the gamut from player to engineer-producer to a twenty year stint as instructor at The Recording Workshop where he trained a host of engineers who have gone on to make an impact on the national scene.
He was a gentle spirit and loyal friend. His life and work will not be forgotten in the hearts and minds of the many people who knew and were moved by him.
Doug Edwards is a bass player extraordinaire; deceptively subtle, he can nail a groove like nobody's business while simultaneously providing the kind of rhythmic color that can set the tone for any tune. A veteran of bands whose styles have ranged from pop to heavy metal, Doug is also a crackerjack recording engineer whose work includes a wide array of music and national commercials.
Jeff Kendall is the band's utility guy. Whether he's burning a guitar lead, trading off with Rob, locking in a sublime rhythm part, singing backup, or doubling ..s and harp, Jeff is, frankly, indispensable to the Ringers sound. He easily handles any style, from funk to rock or R & B to blues, and often can be found sitting in or recording with many well-known, Central Ohio acts.
Joel Steward is, to put it simply, a dream drummer. Need a new and different groove? Joel's got it. Want to nail down a classic idea? Give it to Joel. His tasteful, punchy, clock work playing is matched only by his flawless sense of dynamics, and his experience ranges from rock, pop and jazz to big bands and touring Broadway shows.
Billy Zenn brings a voice as strong as his experience is deep, and songs that resonate across time and place. A performer who means what he says and delivers it every time, Billy steadfastly clings to his roots in the rich, dark soul of America and kicks the tried and true into the 21st century, bringing it all back home fresh and new.
Influences: Orbison to Charles; Berry to Cash; Dylan, Reed and everything in between.
