Ernie L
Lead Guitar & Vocals
ERNIE has been involved with several local area bands over the years, including stints with JoLeo (an acoustic trio), 8th Day, and Breakaway. Ernie is the other half of the Garage All-Star’s guitar duo, and loves being able to whip out a good, searing lead solo once in a while just to make sure you're all paying attention. He also provides vocal back-ups and is pretty much a slacker when it comes to learning the right lyrics to the songs on which he has any vocal duties. Regardless, he always comes up with at least the right number of syllables at the very last second . It may be complete nonsense, so just don't listen to him too closely when he sings!

Fred Y
Bass & Commentary (some call this backup vocals)
Fred first became a "bottom dweller" (picked up the bass) in 1983. Previously he played with local bands such as Shuriken, Paper Thin Orchestra (PTO) & Distorted Vision, as well as other area projects and recordings. His wacky sense of humor and energy shines through in live shows. He's even been known to get out on the dance floor with the crowd to get down and boogie !!!Fred uses F Bass, Brubaker, Fender and other basses. He also uses Thunderfunk amps & Epifani cabinets. Yeah that’s right!!

Ted B
Lead Vocals, Tambourine, Vibraslap, & Master of the Cowbell

TED has been singing at a non-professional level for a number of years, but this is his first experience singing with a live band. His previous experience has been strictly Karaoke, but realized Karaoke was not enough time in front of people, and decided to find a band. Doing his absolute best to sound as close to the original artist as possible, his range varies from Eddie Vedder all the way up to Bon Scott or Steve Perry. He uses a wireless mic to enable him to run around in the crowd, and a separate vocal processor to add echo’s and other effects to his voice. He has also been classically trained on the maraca’s, the tambourine, the vibraslap, and the cowbell, with a minor in the triangle, and of course, the most important piece of equipment would be his lungs and big mouth!

Warren G
Keeper Of Da Beat!

Warren, The newest member of the band comes all the way from the now defunct U.S.S.R. where he was 1st chair Swinette with the Communist Cosmonaut Orchestra.

Just kidding, Warren could never be 1st chair!

But seriously, Warren’s first exposure to music was listening to Big Band records with his father. It was the big sounds created by the likes of Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich that just drew him in. He was 8 when his sister joined a Drum and Bugle Corp when he tagged along and low and behold there was that big sound again, but now he could see what was creating it. DRUMS!  At that instant he knew this is what he wanted to do. I guess you could say the rest is history. Along with the 25 plus years he spent playing in Drum Corps he also played in a variety of local bands playing Rock, Pop, Blues, Country and Swing and most recently with the band “WherezDave”. He is also currently recording the latest CD for local recording artist Chad Conley Hopkins. His formal training includes School Band, Drum and Bugle Corp, and he is currently studying at “The Baltimore School of Drumming”.
