Band Members: When the Sun Defenders chase the Iozenum Probes through time, the music reflects the time period which they are in ( rock, science-fiction instrumental, bluegrass, folk, and electronica) all intertwined with an epic orchestrated soundtrack score! The soundtracks are divided into 11 albums. The first one is called "The Sun Defenders: Spectroscope Electrodome Volume 1". The third album will be called "The Sun Defenders: Scenes From the 19th Century Volume 1".
Many heroes have contributed to the making of these albums. I, Marshall Woodworth, am the founder and lead composer/performer of this musical journey. I have the fortune of working with these extremely talented and highly creative fellow Sun Defenders like Ben Mahoney- cello, violin, vocals. Joe McGinty-violin, fiddle, mandolin, lead guitar, vocals. Rob Randow-rythym/lead guitar, vocals. Nick Capello- harmonica, guitar, vocals. George Spencer- accordian, vocals. Roxanne Randow, Katira Shores, Carrie Drennan, Stacey Cooney, and many others.
