Band Members: ENDSVILLE is:
Vox/6-String: Keith Jolie
Keith is a seasoned singer and songwriter, with a talent for writing the story of the lives he encounters - wrapping them in a blanket of passion drenched melody and lyrics both succint and precise. Keith has also released a solid solo album called “City so cold†in 1998, and 2 other limited releases.
Skins: Minas Hatzigiannatzoglou
If you’re counting, yes it’s 18 letters long. Minas developed his technique from years of learning from the masters of rock. If it’s filed under ‘classic rock’, he can play it. His philosophy is simple - if you are going to play a rhythm, then make sure everyone is going to feel that rhythm. You’ll always see a grin on his face, when the kick drum drops and the stage comes alive.
6-string : Paul Butters
As a teenager, Paul's parents threatened to take away his guitar if his school marks didn't improve, since he practiced instead of doing homework. Little did they know the guitar was going to get him a degree (music at U of G), a job (music teacher) and a wife (met her at a music store). Who's had the last laugh now! For the past ten years Paul has been living the true hard-core rock n' roll life: Teaching classics like "Little Rabbit Foo Foo" and "Fuzzy Wuzzy Wuz a Bear" to Elementary school kids. Anyone would agree that pace of that sort cannot be maintained without going down in a fiery crash ala Bonham, Hendrix and Morrison, so nice relaxing late nights playing with Endsville is just what this guitarist needs. He cheerfully admits to a wide range of influences, including Van Halen, Joe Pass, Leo Kottke and, of course, Raffi. Mostly he just likes to play; genre be damned! He also lives by the credo "Move when the spirit says move", so don't be surprised if he bounces around on stage a bit!
Tickling the Ivories - Matt Bartram
Since deserting from the French Foreign Legion after a minor misunderstanding with three of the commander’s five wives, Matthew has worked to blend into society by losing his six-pack abs and pretending to work at several companies whose names will remain confidential to protect the innocent. He has been playing piano for longer than he can remember and thanks his parents for forcing him, teary-eyed, to continue music lessons throughout his adolescence. Musical influences are varied and include The Grateful Dead, David Bowie, ragtime and jazz, Pink Floyd and a one-eyed leper that he met in Calcutta who played La Bamba on the harmonica.
