Band Members: Brendan Crimi: Lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Brendan Crimi, brings an energetic yet haphazard sensibility to the fresh sound of House On Wheels. At the age of 26, after living a life free of ridicule and scathing hostility, he decided to leave the relative safe haven of his bedroom and perform live music for more than just his uncomfortably large collection of stuffed animals. Since his explosion onto the music scene, Brendan is fortunate enough to have been on the same stage with the likes of Edwin McCain, John Mayer, Blues Traveler, and Maroon 5 each time he was quickly apprehended by security and told not to return. Despite facing such adversity, Brendan continues to strum away with the tenacity of a benchwarmer suffering from delusions of grandeur that someday he's actually going to make it into the game.

Gabe Wanous: At the age of 13, a teen prodigy emerged on electric guitar, the likes of which the world had never seen. At the same age, Gabriel Wanous took guitar lessons from that prodigy and would go on to achieve a level of notoriety for his own unique style of Lead Guitarism. Gabe's exploits have taken him across the Southeast playing for tons of people in such bands as Mr. Bs Revival, Captain Jack and the fruity pebbles, Draft Cabbage, Hurricane Dick and the Coconuts, and Idella Soul. Nowadays, Gabriel prefers playing for bartenders in empty night clubs something House On Wheels is all too incapable of providing.
Ty Erb: Conceived in a basement, Ty Erb is accustomed to being at the very bottom. In the deepest depths of a low tone, chasing the back beat, is where Erb feels most comfortable. His knack for lowness would become one of his greatest heights, when at the age of 17, he took up the bass, we're talking guitar here not fish! For the past twelve years, Erb has played professionally for such notable acts as Marty Bribe, Blues Old Stand, and Idella Soul. After his late night treks of being super ephedrinated on Yellow Jackets, while touring with Idella Soul, Erb decided to take a smoother ride grooving in the pocket with House on Wheels.

Will Hudson: Some call him a natural, others say he is a freak of nature, but Will Hudson thinks of himself as a drumming anomaly! Raised on drums and cornbread, he shocked the drumming community at the tender age of six with his ground breaking techniques and fluid rudiments. Will Hudson has played with many famous artists and after playing drums professionally for four days a week for more than twelve years, he came to the conclusion that he needed more drumming in his life! This led him to rigorous studies in the field of chemistry, where he derived a formula that allowed him to intravenously abuse a liquid form of drum instructional DVD's that caused a massive burnout! Now he prefers to only play gigs twice a month under the strict adult supervision of House on Wheels!
Sam Marsal: Like good gumbo, Sam is a mixture of all things tasty... though will probably leave you with heartburn and bad gas! Born and raised in Mobile (pronounced Mo' Bills). Sam brings a certain spice of twang to H.O.W. along with unprecedented speed. Starting his journey at the age of 9, Sam picked up the guitar and never looked back. Not so much because he needed the practice, but that he was in time-out sitting against a wall. Over the years Sam honed his skills with laser focus (Makers Mark), while continuing studies at USM as a classical major. Then one night, under the Mississippi sky he drank a magical drink. You might ask, "did it make him better?" No, just drunk, but in the process he was introduced to the band Humble Root. With Humble Root Sam got to hear his guitar over the radio. Though, he did have to crank the amp up to 11 because the radio was pretty loud! Making the move to Montgomery Sam began his personal search for himself as well as for fame and fortune. Since then, Sam has found only heartache and destitution, however, he did find friends' in the form of House On Wheels. He feels blessed to be part of the ROCK JUGGERNAUT that is... The H.O.W TEAM!
