Sarah Grylls, Backing Vocals: Sarah is a very talented singer with a power Alto voice that blends in intricate harmonies with Rebekah's lead vocals. Her musical background is in choir and stage productions.
Robert Lenonard, Drums: Lenny was raised in the Midwest. He has been in numerous bands... Starting out in Detroit, (The Puppets)... then, on to New Orleans, and Memphis, (The Excellerators - featuring Kent Courtney)... then, off to Las Vegas, (The Lounge Lizard Stompers)... and most recently, up in Olympia WA., (Nuckledeep).
Influences: The many influences of the band range from Pat Benatar, The Cure, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Enya, and Beethoven to Heart. Or from Metallica that just met J.S. Bach at Pink Floyd's house. Rebekah, the lead-singer/composer, writes the music in a Celtic Rock format. She is 100% Irish. Even some words are written in Gaelic. However, her voice is very unique as she studied profesionally, as did Pat, and she switched from opera/musical theater to rock music. The guitarist is Hard Rock shredder that has a "Santana" influence. One great melting pot once the band is all together!
Sounds Like: J.S. Bach having a nightmare about Gothic Musical Theatre...
