Dan Ford:
    Dan is the lead singer and rythm guitarist for the band. With nine years of piano experience under his belt, he taught himself how to play guitar about three years ago. Dan's musical influences and favorites include the Beatles, U2, Dave Matthews Band, Lowest of the Low, Barenaked Ladies, and Simon and Garfunkel. In his spare time, he enjoys basically anything that involves himself being wet. Including swimming and extreme watersports. Dan plans on attending Boston University next fall.

Jake Ford:
    If you know the Ford brothers, you might know that they are twins. If you were to only see them however, you would think that there must have been a mix up at the hospital. These two are like a night of bingo in a biker bar. (A moment of silence for the Brown Baron.) They look and act completely foreign from one another.(This probably makes them both very happy.)
    Anyway, Jake is the one that you will see with a Bass in one hand, and a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich in the other. Besides being the bassist, he is also the one that is (most of the time) hitting those crisp harmonies. Jake attributes his funky style to bands such as; The Grateful Dead, Rusted Root, Dave Matthews Band, Grand Funk Railroad, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He loves mountain biking and playing his bass, and for some reason has an extreme fascination with skipping rocks. Jake plans on attending Indianapolis University next fall.

Peter Gruendike:
    Peter is the lead guitarist of the band. He is also a self-taught guitarist, learning to play about three years ago. His favorites and influences include; Lowest of the Low, James Taylor, Tragically Hip, Wilco, and Son Volt. When he has free time, he enjoys rock climbing, skiing, and fly-fishing. Peter will be a sophmore at Plattsburgh State University next year and then plans on transferring to the Environmental Science school at Syracuse University.

The band is currently playing with a new drummer, Anthony Giardino, who may be the answer to their ongoing problem with finding a steady one. Previously they have played with Jim Leventhal and Keith Krause.

Anthony Giardino:
    Anthony is the newest addition to the band and seems to be fitting in extremely well. He has been playing since he was thirteen, and has mostly been involved in Jazz projects. He also plays some guitar. His influences include; Dave Matthews Band, Ben Folds Five, Dave Brubek, and James Taylor. He enjoys mountain climbing and will be returning as a Senior at Ken West next year.
