Band Members:

Ken Pino, Guitar Guitarist for W.C.Handy and Grammy Award winning Johnny “Clyde”Copeland for ten years and recorded seven albums with Johnny, three of which were Grammy nominated. Simon Wilkinson of The Advertiser, Adelaide, Australia wrote in his review “…at times he (Copeland) was overshadowed by the considerable talent of the band’s rhythm player, Ken Pino.” Kenny also toured widely with Hubert Sumlin, Magic Slim, Joe Hughes, Johnny Johnson and Debbie Davies.

Mark "Butcher" Hylander, Drums “… Mark Hylander is a solid drummer!” says Variety. Mark has twenty six years of professional drumming experience. He has toured extensively and recorded with many bands including Duke and the Drivers, West, and the Swinging Johnsons .

Danny Klein , Bass “DK, Ace on Bass; Ambassador of Funk”, is a founding and current member of The J Geils Band who recorded seventeen hit albums. Thomas Wictor, Bass PlayerMagazine says ”…When it comes to pulse pounding dance music, Danny Klein is simply one of the best bass players around. His grooves are punchy and exciting, and he spices things up with string popping, snaky slides and a gritty macho tone though echoes of funk and R&B can be heard. His playing defies categorization- it seems more intuitive than anything else. It would be hard to find a more infectious bass line than “Freeze Frame”, and “Flame Thrower” has to be one of the greatest party songs ever written.” He recently toured nationally and in Europe with Debbie Davies for two years.
