About Me


Seven Second Chances started out back in 2002, after the break up of Bryan's last band, Threetimesthru. From there he went solo, using the moniker "Seven Second Chances". He released one solo album, "Time Spills Away", which is a full-length acoustic album. The album was mainly just Bryan and his guitar...but there is also some piano, cello, violin, and harmonica. In the Spring 2006, he began adding members to the band. Different line-up changes occured, but the backbone, Larry Wheaton, has remained. Larry rocks like Dokken, whether on drums or trombone. In September, they also added the ever-popular Paul Macosko to the line-up. Paul rocks both the acoustic and electric guitars, and sings. Making the girls panic wasn't part of the job description, but he does a fine job of that anyways. Finally, the most recent addition to the band is Caley Banko on bass and vocals. Until you've heard this girl sing, you haven't heard anything!
