Dave
(I'm Grateful) Verwiel:
Dave is an old-school advocate who believes in the power of teamwork
and community of musicians in the finest of Deadhead traditions.
His graceful melodies sing with the heart of a lion, and his warm
rhythms soothe the soul. Dave draws his musical stylings from
groups like The Grateful Dead, as well as individuals like Bruce
Hornsby. Always running a little late, always shows up feeling
"grate", Dave is more often than not the one who initiates
the question, "So who wants to go out for an early breakfast?"

(The
Mischievous) Melanie Budd:
Melanie is an amazing talent whose high voltage intensity is
matched only by the depths of her emotion. A dynamite singer,
Melanie is also developing a strong repertoire of original music
as an up-and-coming songwriter. The works of Shawn Colvin and
Dave Matthews top her myriad of influences. Quick with a smile,
but even quicker with a right hook, Melanie loves to fool around,
but is absolutely nobody's fool, which makes her a powerful
force, both on and off the stage.

Michael
(M-Lo) Lowery:
Michael is a musical "lifer" whose main talents include songwriting and playing rhythm guitar. He is the founding member of The Allnighters and cites among his many influences Ritchie
Havens and Pete Townsend. His all-out, "pedal-to-the-metal" energy is both exciting and intriguing. It's as if
forces are driving him from another world. A long time arts purist, Michael has recently become an entertainment business aficionado in the finest tradition of many of today's contemporary artists. He has often been heard screaming at his employees, "Sell!, Sell!, Sell!, My kingdom for a sale!"

(The Great) Marshall Cosme: Marshall is a rock 'n' roll sheriff who refuses to be a part of anyone's bad music. In his early days as a hired gun, he built up quite a reputation with his rapid-fire delivery and keen eye for the human heart. Once inside you, Marshall's music would take you on a celestial journey from one magnificent point in the imagination to another. He cites as his influences two of the all-time great guitar-slingers, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. Marshall's maniacal energy is what sets him apart from all other guitarists. One minute, he's stinging you like a bee. The next minute, you're star-tripping on a mystical journey through the cosmos. And at other times, whenever he feels like it, he'll just shred you to pieces with a dizzying display of rapid fire notes that jack your jaw, make you scratch your head, and ask the question, "How the hell did he do that?" Keep your questions to yourself though, because Marshall is the law, and he's got an ax to grind.  |

Brian
(The Reclusive MixMaster B) Mell:
Brian is another victim of "That playin' thing" (see
"I Am King") who has been knocking on the door of
commercial success for years, but just hasn't been able to kick
that sucker in yet. Among his many talents are rock-solid drumming
and the unorthodox use of certain percussion instruments within
the Rock and Roll idiom. Some of his most prominent influences
include David Garibaldi and Stewart Copeland. Brian is also
a fortune seeker of the digital realm, who often shuts himself
off from the world for days, in the hopes of scheming and surfing
his way to unknown treasure. We are all worried about Brian.
