Driven by Rich McLean who keeps the beat steady, Lead Guitar player Cary Preskey weaves the notes of the smooth classics through the warm Bass of Gary Siegel, while David Chavez, the Canary of the group, keeps the rhythm flowing and the crowds singing along.
• Drummer Rich McLean emerges from a Heavy Metal background. Originally rocking the bass, Rich decided beating the drum kit was a better fit. Making his decision to drop the strings and pick up the sticks, Rich has been pounding away and driving the beats ever since.
• Lead Guitar player Cary Preskey loves nothing more than to string together a set of notes that mesmerize all who are within earshot. Demonstrating a dynamic flow from scale to scale, song to song, Cary has a way of moving up and down the fretboard effortlessly.
• Lead Vocalist, Guitarist and Piano player David Chavez: keyboard prodigy at seven, switched to guitar at twelve, and soon after took up lead vocals — a relentless performer for over five decades. From Street Survivors to Moon Daddy, he’s spent 51+ years lighting up stages with soulful power and unmistakable showmanship.
• Bassist Gary Siegel has 40+ years of rock, jazz, blues, and studio experience. He has played with LC Houston, Dean Moller, Mike Deasy, Brother Kasyn, and the Bill Derry Band.
