Andy "Puppy" Howe Rhythm and Lead Ukuleles 4-String Tenor Guitar Blues Harp Mandolin Lead and Harmony Vocals  I've mostly been a lead vocalist in my previous bands, but I visited friends on the big island of Hawaii a while back, picked up a baritone ukulele in Kona, and I've been playing the instrument ever since! I taught myself enough guitar in college to allow me to write Songs, but very rarely played it in the bands I was in, then or since. But for some reason, the ukulele, with it's four strings and wide string spacing, and bluegrass music, with it's strong focus on the upbeat, seem like a perfect fit for me... Read More	Susan Herrera Lead and Harmony Vocals   Susan grew up a round eye in Nippon, meaning she lived in Japan. Between foot bindings and Godzilla attacks, she somehow got into celtic music, which only makes sense. Not. Skip forward a number of years and we find our herione in Oak Ridge playing with Four Leaf Peat. Jump a few years beyond that, and she's now ours, OURS! Bwah ha ha ha!! When Sue's not blowing out microphones with her "super happy lung power fun time", she works as a hair stylist at Salon Bjork (OK, it's Salon Bior, but I think it's much more fun to imagine hapless souls going to Bjork for new stylings!). She also does wig and make-up work for numerous theaters in the area, including the Knoxville Opera and our own Oak Ridge Playhouse. She's happily married to Jason Herrera, who not only plays in Four Leaf Peat, but who is also a fuzzy li'l leprechaun who refuses to share his pot of gold! Bastich!! By the way, a fuzzy leprechaun isn't just a musical husband, it's also a drink: 1 part vodka, 8 parts gatorade. Enjoy!
Tony Mendez Lead and Rhythm straight and slide Guitars Open tuned 12-String Guitar 6-String Banjitar Lead and Harmony Vocals   I grew up on the east coast after being born in Denver. My brother was born in Alabama two and a half years after me, and we never lived in any one place more than 3 years. Early years were in Virginia, then Florida and south Georgia. High school was in Baltimore. Musically, I was all over the place growing up. I'm a sentimental type, so I'm a sucker for nostalgia -- don't understand how I can wax nostalgic over stuff that was before my time, but.... If you look at my collection of vinyl from my teens & early 20's, you'll find Barry Manilow and The Captain & Tenille along side Boston, Average White Band and Derek & the Dominoes, along side George Benson, Larry Carlton and Pat Metheny... Read More	Jonas Mannon Drums and Percussion Lead Vocals   Jonas is a New Yorker who came to TN via a long stint out in L.A. working as a drum tech, playing with bands like Silver Needle, and making friends in the biz like Slash and some of the gang from Sabbath. Not only is Jonas an extremely gifted and versatile drummer and percussionist, but he's also a fantastic writer, arranger and singer! Check out Jonas' awesome blog!
George Charles Bass Keys   Did you ever hear the one about ... I've played bass since I was six years old, which means I've been playing longer than most of these guys have been alive! For a while there I was playing keys in 'The Dark Hollow Band', with my good friend Randal Wilkerson. I suppose I'm more of a rock and roller than anything else. Too bad these guys don't let me turn on my ultra fuzzy overdrive. That reminds me of a story...
