You know, maybe someday I’ll even get it right. And if you wonder, I play DW drums. Full time Gig is being Retired and Rock and Roll.
Bob “Double Oh” Bosek..
Lead guitar and lead vocals. Bob started playing guitar in his early teens where he revered musicians like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Chuck Berry. He would spend hours trying to emulate their riffs and sounds.
His current “back to fundamentals” lead riffs and music style is confirmation that these idols were key in molding his musical soul. College and raising a family took him away from his immersion in music for many years, but he still kept up with the basics and played with friends at jam sessions and the like.
With the establishment of his principal career as Civil/Forensic Engineer, and his family grown, Double Oh has rejoined the music/entertainment community as a founding member for the band. His day Gig is a Forensic Engineer.
Ted “Lighting Teddy” Hanlon..
Bass Guitar and Vocals. Playing since 1965 and has performed with several bands. For nearly two decades, Ted and his bass guitar have entertained for local rock & roll shows, churches and the elite retirement community at Anthem Sun City in Henderson. Playing music has been Ted’s passion since his early garage band days in Seattle. I’ll never forget being excused from school in the 5th grade to play a gig, with my band, for the Junior High School Dance. We were one of the original Boy Bands from the 60′s…Beatle boots and all… His day Gig is Ted’s Lighting and Supply.
