They have history together that reaches back into the late nineties when they were known as Area 51. From Little Rock Arkansas, Ben Thompson on Vocals is a Star child of Rock and Roll, Growing up on the greats of the era such as: Hagar, Rose, Plant and Roth. He is a very seasoned and smooth performer with great integrity and sex appeal, constantly making eye contact with the audience and keeping them involved encouraging them to sing along, drink, and dance the night away.

With much integrity and showmanship, he is a powerful asset to the lineup. Jay Clinton is a solid backbone type drummer who's musical roots run deep into the rock culture of today. His smooth and flowing rhythms will make you want to groove and dance. His influences are mainly Pert, Aldridge and John Bonham, and if you listen to him, you can hear these styles emerge from his wonderful canvass of dynamics & beats. As well as drums, he plays congas, guitar keys, and sings great backups. These guys are 5 Star Performers and musicians and will rock your socks off! Performing covers from the 70’s to the present with great intensity, and refer to their show as "Rock of Ages" playing most of the greatest songs from the early & current genres of rock.
