Band Members:
Anthony Johnson - Lead Vocals, Guitars
Anthony found himself settling in San
Francisco in the early 90's after a brief stopover in LA. Originally
from Louisiana, he is one of the lucky few who possesses "the
voice". Anthony has a passion for music gear and can talk with
the best of them on the subject of custom made amplifiers. His
musical influences are very broad, but every now and again he'll
break into a version of some 70's classic for fun! As
everythingnothing's front man, he'll never disappoint the audience
with his powerful and emotional vocals and has been compared to Jeff
Buckley in his delivery. He has recently grown fond of the studio
environment and is looking forward to leading everythingnothing on
the next chapter of their musical journey.
Ian Bruce - Keyboards, Programming,
Vocals
Originally from Liverpool, England, Ian
is a transatlantic hybrid with both London and San Francisco in his blood and freely admits he is as comfortable in the studio as he is
on stage. Having mastering the latest studio and keyboard
technology, he attempts to fuse the classic sounds of the past with
the sounds of tomorrow as well as filling the engineers and producers
chair very comfortably. He grew up on a staple diet of 70's and 80's
British music and is influenced by such artists as Pink Floyd, the
Kinks, David Bowie, ELO, Echo & The Bunnymen, Tears for Fears and
the rest of his vast rock LP collection. His current taste in music
is varied and eclectic, but he admits to liking any song that means
something! He also admitted the two producers that have influenced
him to stretch are Trevor Horn and Roland Orzabal; go figure!
Michael Odobas - Bass, Vocals
Michael was raised in Vancouver, Canada
and started playing electric guitar at 13 years of age and bass
guitar at 15. Local bands frequently needed bass players and it was
that demand which shaped Michael's choice of instrument. Michael had
early success with his band Vertigo, who signed with WEA (Warner,
Electra Atlanta) Records.
Michael’s songwriting and musical
influences include Jackson Browne, Paul McCartney, Sting, U2, Jackson
Browne and The Eagles. Michael plays Warwick and Fender bass guitars
and uses Behringer amplifiers.
Jim Ayala - Drums, Percussion, Vocals
Jim began drumming over twenty years
ago at the young age of nine. He started in the percussion section
of the school bands, and eventually played in the symphony all
through college. His “rock band†drumming began as a teenager,
playing in a variety of bands with a wide range of music genres;
rock, hip hop, jazz, country, and blues. The latest band he played
for comes out of Half Moon Bay California. Jim is a skilled
percussionist, and has played down in the pit for many orchestras,
including a few shows for Stanford University.
