KIMBERLYE GOLD – VOCALS/GUITAR –
A Bay Area native, Kimberlye’s career has taken her far and wide. Beginning with the award-winning San Francisco rock 'n roll musical comedy, Breakfast In Marin, starring as "Sunny" when she was a teenager, she has traveled to music hot spots world-wide, performing at venues such as Biscuits ‘N Blues in San Francisco, Molly Malone’s in Los Angeles, The Bitter End in New York City, The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and 12 Bar in London. Kimberlye co-wrote "Don't Maybe Me", a cut on Nashville Atlantic Records recording artist Mila Mason's CD, The Strong One. Kimberlye’s songs have also appeared in the ABC TV series All My Children as well as motion pictures and documentaries. Steve Massam/BBC Radio, notes "Kimberlye is a breath of fresh air; she sings from the heart with true feeling and passion. She can rock, yet has a quality in her voice that easily compares with Emmylou Harris or Allison Krauss." Ben Fong-Torres, author/journalist & former senior editor of Rolling Stone magazine states, "Kimberlye has a way with words and music; based as much on heart and soul as they are on rock & roll, folk, country and the blues. Her voice, pretty, strong and rocking, is equally adept at covering all those musical bases and more."
STEVEN GARY – VOCALS/BASS –
Also a local boy, Steve grew up singing in local musical theater and honing his skills on guitar, bass and brass instruments, playing classical, jazz, big band, folk and rock. He left for Hollywood in his early 20s, where he garnered numerous album credits as a vocalist, wrote and performed in two musical theater productions, and was part of the award-winning barbershop quartet Pacifica. He then took on the prestigious job of Music Director on the cruise ship Freewinds Majestic Cruise Lines, where he continued to expanded his musical diversity and experience, performing with entertainers from all over the world including the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and Australia. He has worked with many top international artists as jazz great Chick Corea, classic rock Icon Edgar Winter and soul legend Martha Reeves.
PETER COR – GUITAR, KEYBOARDS AND VOCALS –
Born in Manhattan, living many years in Europe, and traveling to Central America and the Caribbean, this vast array of culture gives multi-instrumentalist Peter Cor a worldly vision that can be heard in whatever musical genre he undertakes.
Credits including composing for "EARTH WIND & FIRE's" multi-platinum song "Getaway". His musical diversity has also come into play working with many different artists such as: R&B and funk legend Rufus Thomas, world renowned saxman Ronnie Laws, Grammy award-winning Tibetan vocalist Yungchen Lhamo, drummer Will Calhoun from the group Living Colour, Charnett Moffett and many other European and African musicians of notoriety.
Peter brings enthusiasm and a “New York verve” to every performance!
GARY DULLECK – GUITAR, KEYBOARDS AND VOCALS –
A San Francisco Bay Area native, Gary has been a part of the Bay Area music scene for decades playing both keyboard and guitar. Whether sharing the bill with western swing band Asleep at The Wheel or opening for the likes of Tower of Power and Boz Scaggs, Gary has always enjoyed playing a diverse range of music. While his musical travels have included a road trip to Nashville and playing in Alsaka in the middle of winter, Gary is happiest playing his home turf in sunny California.
BRAD DE LA TORRE – DRUMS -
A native of the Bay Area, Brad has been playing the local scene for over 20 years. His past bands include Mr. Meanor, D5, Leah Tysse Band, and Staticshock, just to name a few. As a drummer, Brad has started bands from the ground up as well as joining existing bands, and drumming in nightclub house bands taught him to think on his feet and pick up any style quickly. From the age of 13, Brad has been influenced by all the great drummers of every genre of music including Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Tony Williams and Jeff Porcaro. All types of venues fall within Brad’s resume, from private parties to weddings to the bar circuit. Today Brad still listens to all drummers in hopes of learning something new to bring to each event with finesse and enthusiasm.
