CJ Nicolai is a California girl who enjoys bands nobody's ever heard of, including her own. She grew up singing gospel in church, and was once asked by her frustrated vocal coach, "Do you want to sing like a man FOREVER?" Yes, she does. Chicks dig it.
John Ware was born and raised in Oklahoma, where the motto stands, "play a drum fill, go to prison." Playing with girls has taken a lifetime...Linda Ronstadt, Rosanne Cash, and Emmylou Harris to name a few...and CJ is the latest or the last in a fine line.
Bill Meyer grew up in Florida and has managed to compile a fine collection of blues history in his head and an equally fine collection of electric guitars in his closet. His style echoes the classic bluesmen, and his down-home licks and rhythms add precious glue to the Reckless Red stew.
Bob Higgins fell hard for rock 'n' roll while slamming out Beatles tunes on a drum kit back in grade school. In a later chapter, he was surprised to discover the sublime joy of laying down a lean, smooth bass groove. He's been parked on the low end ever since.
