The Dream Team

Here's some up-close and personal information about The Dream Team! C'mon! Get to know them!

Lu -- The Diva

A true 'Rock and Roll Animal' and real life angel, Lu's been things and seen places! Hoarding the Dr. Seuss Dictionary from the school library for several years, she began her lyrical and poetical career at the age of 7. After hearing Lu perform, Dave Wagonner of legendary biker band CROW, asked her to join and she soon found herself playing everything from bars to festivals and concerts to tens of thousands while sharing the bill with many of her rock idols. Lu sings, produces and arranges studio projects for AD and others on the side. She is now honing her guitar and violin playing. Her 'angel's dream' is to "duet" with David Lee Roth, and Paul Rodgers. (Ha Ha) Lu's favorite color is sparkle and her major influences include, HEART, PAUL RODGERS, LED ZEPPELIN, stress, dieting and living in her '69 Rambler station wagon in LA once upon a time. Lu loves animals and is a Mac geek.

Dave -- The Guitarist

Dave ROCKS!! Starting at the tender age of 14, Dave has climbed the rock and roll ladder from high school dances to festival crowds. In Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dave cut his teeth in the rock clubs of that 5-state area. FOGGY BOTTOM and HAIL MARY were some of his earlier bands. He toured and recorded with KRYSTAL AXE. He and Lu brought the roots of ANGEL'S DREAM to the Bay. Dave is a true guitar players' guitarist. He has his own unique and personal way of combining lyrics with music and translating it into vivid imagery with his awe-inspiring guitar work. He also has an outstanding reputation as a guitar luthier. Dave is a major fan of the Vikings and when there is no football, he's on his guitar writing songs. Lu named Dave's double-neck "Goliath". When you see them together, you'll know why! Dave has Welsh ancestry which probably accounts for his beautiful melodic guitar licks as well as his high-energy edge even on a 12 string!

Derek -- The Drummer

Having played with many great musicians in one project after another, Derek has continued to wow audiences and garner respect from other Bay Area drummers and musicians. Derek and Lu played in several projects together including, Oui, Möbley Raison, and Morgan Le Fay. Derek also played with local legend Jo Johansen in the popular SF band JoJo, opening up for many national acts on a regular basis. With a great imagination and loads of creativity, Derek knows what it is to play drums musically. Derek's playing is an awesome talent of power and finesse that few drummers possess. Rarely will you see a drummer with so much style and flair.

Stephen -- The Bassist

Stephen was born on a New Year's day in San Jose, the 6th child of a family of 9!! He started playing the drums at the age of 5 and joined a garage band with some friends when he was only 12. He found a craving for entertaining friends and anyone who could stand the volume. Stephen is a rock veteran and has paid his dues. Keeping true to his "raw" Rock-n-Roll roots and influences teamed up with ANGEL'S DREAM who noticed this "unknown celebrity", who could contribute a solid, groove oriented bass to their unique and heavy sound.
