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.)
