Brian Baverman (Drums, Percussion): Brian earned his moniker “Gigs” by playing thousands
of them. He toured with MCA/Decca recording artists Frazier River in the 90’s, and was a fixture with the Kentucky Pops
Orchestra for a decade. A session drummer on over 300 albums, Brian’s venerable
career has seen him back up Bob Hope, Nelson Riddle, Joan Rivers, and the
Drifters. To our knowledge Brian did not perform
in the Glen Miller Band during World War II. We are also fairly certain that he
was not playing drums on the original
recordings that Thomas Edison made in the 19th century. Finally, we
can say with 85% confidence that he was not
present with Mesopotamian cave dwellers
during the emergence of the drum as an instrument in 20,000 BC.
Jason Erickson (Vocals, Lead Guitar): In addition to being an acclaimed songwriter, guitarist, and singer, Jason is an award-winning producer and arranger. He also is heavily involved in audio engineering, art design and video editing. He will soon move on to the manufacturing process, learning how to build and maintain complex CD replication machines and industrial printers. After mastering the .MP3 encoding process he will become a software programmer and physicist, moving to gain influence over production, distribution, and someday the very molecules that compose existence. Through these means Jason will eventually be able to control all aspects of everything.
Joanie Whittaker (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar): Joanie lit up stages from Finland to New York, honing her singer/songwriter chops before donning her Elvis jumpsuit and cranking up her red Marshall stack with the Cla-Zels. During her adventures she created a successful alter ego in the world of children’s music, and released City Beat’s Best Children’s Album of 2007. Her great fear is that she will accidentally sing her rock lyrics mentioning KY jelly while playing the Petting Zoo. An even greater fear is that she will accidentally begin singing “Potty Party” at Madison Square Garden.
Chris Barlow (Electric and Upright Bass): Under the harsh tutelage of his NKU masters, Chris has become an accomplished bassist, well respected throughout the Hogwarts School of Magic. As he finishes up his degree in Music, he will finally attain the title of Jedi Knight and be able to enter the Chamber of Secrets. He hopes to someday destroy the Golden Snitch with his lightsaber and restore his father Voldemort’s good name throughout the galaxy.
