You can say "I knew him when..."

About Me



Wanderlust were together from 1992 until 1998. Their radio single "I Walked" from their 1995 RCA album "Prize", topped airplay charts in major city's such as Philadelphia, New York, Minneapolis, and Atlanta. Collective Soul extended their southern hospitality to invite Wanderlust to tour with them as their opening act throughout the Summer and Autumn of that year. They were featured on the esteemed national radio program "Rockline". Timothy White of Billboard Magazine wrote a full page editorial on them, coining the phrase, "one of the most transporting debut albums of the year", that RCA would quote on their ad campaign posters. They opened for The Who in Washington D.C. the following year.
Scot Sax moved to Los Angeles in 1999 to accept an offer from Warner Chappell Publishing Company to become a staff songwriter for them. Mark Getten moved to L.A. soon after and the two of them continued working together forming bands, "Bachelor Number One", and "Feel".
Among Scot's many writing credits, his most commercially successful collaboration was top ten country hit "Like We Never Loved at All" sung by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. He has since returned to the east coast and is producing up and coming artist Sharon Little.
Mark continues to live in the Los Angeles area and plays bass for critically acclaimed artist A.M. He also heads an experimental project band called "Indignitaries".
Rob Bonfiglio moved to Los Angeles and formed his own band "The Skies of America". He is also the musical director for Wilson Phillips' touring band. He is married to singer Carnie Wilson.
Jim Cavanaugh remained in the Philadelphia area and currently is the drummer for "Los Manatees". He produced the debut album for up and coming band "SugrHi". Jim also occasionally backs Bill Hailey's Comets guitarist Franny Beecher.
