The band consists of:
Bob Fulmer: Guitars and lead vocals
Bob’s rock and roll dream began at the age of 15 having been invited to randomly audition as a vocalist for an up and coming high school garage band. By the age of 16 he was playing Bars and festivals all along the Oregon Coast………37 years later he’s still going at it.
But don’t worry, he has a day job.
Aaron Boykin: Keyboards, backing and lead vocals
Aaron started his music journey playing keys and drums as a young lad, encouraged by his father who also plays drums. He played in jazz bands in school, but always wanted to be in a rock band. Around 2015, his musician friends encouraged him to try out on keys for their rock band and he hit it off immediately as a keyboard player and backing vocalist belting out some occasional lead vocals. Now he gets to sing songs of the greats, like AC/DC, Journey, and Weezer.
Steve Kachinsky: Lead and backing guitars
Playing guitar from the age of 15, Steve Kachinsky loves music, especially guitar music, favoring harmony and melody over rhythm. Due to his innate desire to entertain, Steve loves to jump around and ham it up when playing in front of an audience. He gets a burst of energy from seeing people enjoying live music. Some of Steve’s favorite groups include Queen, Van Halen, Zep, Kiss and any band with Ronnie James Dio in it!
Eric Shoemaker: Bass guitar and backing vocals
Eric began playing music in high school, focusing on bass guitar and joining several punk and alternative rock bands in So Cal in the 80s and early 90s. After relocating to the Pacific Northwest in the late 90s, Eric focused on completing his higher education and raising children. In the early 2000s, he met some local Eugene musicians and began playing in rock bands, performing at bars and some larger events and charities. When he’s not playing bass, Eric enjoys billiards, live music, bike rides and, in summer, floating down the river with an ice cold beer.
Clint Wolford: Drums, lead and backing vocals
Clint has been banging on things and singing since he was born. Formal percussion training started in 2nd grade Concert Band and school choirs. Of course, there were many garage bands along the way once he found rock and roll! As his desire to play out progressed, Clint got involved with supporting live theater in the pit, studio work and more bar gigs than he can remember. Clint continues to work on his craft as a drummer, and also enjoys playing the guitar and piano when no one is listening. His main motivation is to socialize with other musicians, and have fun playing music to entertain the audience!
