Guitar/vocals (“Me”)

I have been playing music either full or part time since myfirst days in college (a long time ago).

Thru the many years and many different bands, including being a 2009 inductee into the Mid-America Rock & Country Hall of Fame (formerly the Minnesota HOF), I have enjoyed performing all across the US.

I have been blessed to share the stage with so many amazing musicians and I don’t care if there are 2 or 2,000 people present, the gift of being connected with and sharing music with an audience is amazing!

Todd Stupnik

Guitar/vocals (the “Todd”)

I have been playing guitar for almost thirty years, but it was the blues sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Freddie King, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton who really influenced me.

I ultimately branched out into rock, country, and other genres, delving into Pearl Jam (Mike McCready), Jayhawks (Gary Louris), Redd Volkaert, Albert Lee, and James Burton.

I have been playing professionally for many years and always bring a high level of professionalism and musicianship to every event.
