Tom Jansing (drums) is a veteran of the Cincinnati music scene and is known for his steady beat and creative fills. He's not a wuss when it comes to playing - "pummeling" has been used to describe his style on the kit. Also a veteran of the Ohio State penal system, Tom has received his fair share of "pummeling" as well. Thankfully, Tom's most recent parole officer likes the music.

John Stickney (guitar/vocals) has been playing in bands for over 15 years, starting with the quintessential high school garage band in his teens. John was heavily influenced in those years by AC/DC, which was handy since he only knew 3 chords. After going to college (where he mostly learned new chords), his musical repertoire expanded and in his last band performed music heavily influenced by acoustic/rock groups such as Barenaked Ladies, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, and Freddy Jones Band. After moving to Cincinnati in 2000, John took a 5 year hiatus from music to get his career in order and start a family. Now that those things are done, he’s ready to quit his day job, leave his family, and rock out.

John Hoerr (bass) Whether strumming an acoustic guitar and crooning at a coffeehouse, getting "jiggy" (in the Irish sense) on mandolin, or funking out on bass, John has been an active performer for about sixteen years. John has a degree in music from Bowling Green State University, where he spent his days as a mild-mannered student of classical music theory, and his nights as a student of ROCK (though still a mild-mannered one, to be perfectly honest).
