Band Members: Lyndon Wesley - vocals, all guitars, banjo, electric mandolin, piano, VG8, percussion, flute stones
Duffy Dowling - drums, percussion loop
Duffy is one of my favourite drummers. He's what I call a songwriter's drummer. A man of integrity and dynamics who enjoys a decent brew of coffee. It's a shame he supports the Sydney Swans. We've all got our flaws.
Matty Faulkner - keys, piano, hammond, backing vocals
The professor. Matty is at his most comfortable behind a keyboard. He's like Robbie Williams on Red Bull and seriously now, he can sing too!
Andy Naylor - bass, piano
Anyone who knows Andy will testify to his mastery of music. He's like the unexpected hero. He's the Clark Kent of the music world. I thought him to be one of our finest bass players...then I heard him play guitar! C'mon Andy, rip out the cape and undies, you're musical Superman :-)
Justin McLaren - bass, backing vocals
I've been so fortunate to work with so many great musos. Justin is another guy who has an incredible ear (two ears in fact) and he is such a generous guy. Justin passionate about music? Now there's an understatement!
Brad Evans - string arrangements & programming
Brad came highly recommended and I've been so happy with his work. He's a top bloke and another of these ridiculously talented multi-instrumentalists. A coffee lover too, makes him even more special :-)
Damian Outtrim - tambourine
A good friend of mine. We hadn't seen each other since high school until recently. In fact Damian won a scholarship to the Victorian College of the Arts when he was 16 where he studied percussion. He is a smooth drummer and a closet wedding singer.
