ABOUT THE BAND

About

RICK FAZOLLO

Born and raised in Brazil, Rick was introduced to the greatest hits of America by his father, who was an 80's rock enthusiast. Aerosmith, Guns'n'Roses, Iron Maiden, and Extreme were some of the noteworthy bands that were on his radio and TV. By the age of 10, Rick received his first instrument, a keyboard, which was his gateway into ear and vocal training. As he added other instruments during his teenage phase, Rick worked as a music director in churches and performed shows for the Musical Institute of Rogério Valente. At the age of 20, he moved to America, and at this time his influences and inspiration to achieve the highest vocal technique had been coming from James Labrie (Dream Theater), all vocalists from Avantasia, Russel Allen (Symphony X), Tommy Karevik (Seventh Wonder) and Dino Jelusick. Rick’s passion and goal is to leave an unforgettable music print to the masses.

HANK BAHAR

Hank started his guitar journey when he was 8 years old watching his father playing a traditional string instrument. Having figured out how strings worked, he started digging into his mother’s vinyl collection. Beatles, CCR, Santana, Rolling Stones were among those records. After listening to Keith Richards’ guitar riffs over and over, Hank’s next move was to get a guitar. Having been active since the age 16, Hank has been playing pretty much anywhere he could entertain crowds. Mark Tremonti, Alter Bridge and Creed are his favorites. Other influences include Tool, Alice In Chains, Aerosmith, GNR, STP, Disturbed, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Periphery and Breaking Benjamin. He also likes tube amps, both playing and repairing them, as well as building guitars, custom cabinets, and custom cases. With years of stage experience, a meticulous approach to playing, and a great guitar tone, Hank will play your favorite songs with searing leads. Now his journey continues with Rain, a tribute to Creed.

ERIC SPRIGGS

Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Eric was influenced by his parents who were always playing 50’s and 60’s rock n roll records. It was at the age of 5 when he got his first instrument, and he was hooked on playing along to his favorite tunes. Eric was greatly influenced during his high school years in the 80’s by bass players such as Billy Sheehan, Michael Anthony, Cliff Burton, Rudy Sarzo, and many others. He found his way south to SoCal in 2014 where he’s played in a variety of cover bands playing all over SoCal as well as playing an arena in front of thousands of people.

CHRIS SLATTERY

Beating on drums at the age of 10, Chris grew up playing to the complex rhythms of Neil Peart (Rush), Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden), Alex Van Halen (Van Halen) and Buddy Rich. Intertwined with his influences of the 80's, progressive rock and heavy metal is where he funneled his talents. Through his 30-year career and travels with the Marine Corps, he has had the opportunity to play for thousands of people from the east coast to the west coast and overseas. If it has a rhythm, Chris can be found tapping his hands and feet in efforts to make the masses stand up and rock. Add the influences of Shannon Larkin and Sully Erna (both of Godsmack), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Scott Phillips (Creed), and the progressive sounds of Carter Beauford (the Dave Matthews Band), he is constantly evolving in his craft. With over 46 years of overall experience (live, studio, tracks, click), Chris will provide you with the perfect rhythm for your music and put on a performance that will leave a lasting impression for years to come!
