Band Members:
"Hollywood" Lacer
(Lead Vocals, Percussion)
After many years wasting away on a beach drinking margaritas and chasing senoritas, Hollywood packed his tequila and came back to the Midwest to
party with the Conch Republic! With many years of experience as a performer, he really knows how to keep a party going - Hollywood style!
"Panama" Thomas
(Guitar, Vocals, Engineer)
Having lived under the assumption that forgiveness is easier than asking permission, Panama's always flown under the radar. Armed only with
his guitar (and a batch of freshly poured boat drinks) Panama and the rest of the Conchs are proud to present a little bit of the lower latitudes to your One Particular Harbor! Life needs the Caribbean and what is the Caribbean without rum? Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!
"Skelly Mon" Gritton
(Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals)
Skelly Mon is much like his mythical cousin that many of you know - Jolly Mon. While his background is not fully known, we do know that he is an
amazing musician with a love for the Trop Rock, the beach, and a cold frosty drink. The Conch Republic just wouldn't be complete with the musical stylings and comic antics of the 'mon we love - Skelly Mon! "Oh, oh, oh, oh, Skelly Mon sing. Oh, oh, oh, oh, make the music ring!" :
"Barnacle Byron" Turner
(Keyboard, Vocals)
Arrr, Maties! Ye, be in the presence of one of the roughest, toughest pirates to ever tickle the ivory keys! He be none other than the legendary
"Barnacle Byron the Player". With one bad eye and a bum leg, you might think he be washed up, but nay, nay. Barnacle Bryon be the most capable pirate to ever stroke a keyboard. In fact, he be the master of most the musical sounds that make up the Trop Rock stylings of the Conch Republic.
"Cool Breeze" White
(Drums, Percussion, Vocals)
Seriously, how many guys do you know that can play drums with one hand and chug back a cold cerveza in the other? Well, Cool Breeze isn't one of them,
but he sure does each of them well individually. In fact, he may be one of the most versatile drummers in the region... when he's not chillin' with his favorite frosty beverage. Bottom line, he lives by the motto made popular by the song, "I don't want to work. I just want to bang on this drum all day."
"G-Man" Evans
(Congas, Guitar, Vocals)
Getting out of the surf and into the fire, G-Man has brought the beach with him! Playing and singing for too many years to tell, it is now time to get back to
the sand (stage) with the Republic of Conch! There's an exciting time to be had by all - guaranteed. Even better when the surf's up! (G-Man is a part-time member of the band.)
