Meet the Band

From left to right in the picture above:

Troy Lucketta (Drums)
Arguable one of the finest rock drummers I’ve ever heard. You have no idea how many drummers chalk this guy up as an influence. And what a kind soul. He many times treats friends, family and anyone in need of special attention, the chance to sit with him by the drum riser and experience the show from a completely unique perspective. How Cool is that?

Frank Hannon (Guitars)
O.K., all of you wannabe’s playing Guitar Hero on your kid’s PSP-2, meet the real thing. This guy had one of the most recognized riffs in the late eighties. Remember “Modern Day Cowboy” and that blazing fast lead intro - - Classic. Plus, he’s a great guy. Always a smile on is face. (Brought along a Gibson Double Neck, an SG, a Flying V, an Acoustic, and the Thermin (what’s that you asked, remember those cheesy old sci-fi and horror movies) This is his “lite” setup.

Jeff Keith (the singer)
Down home, down to earth, down right great frontman. This guy doesn’t act like a rock star, he IS a rock star. His sees life a fantastic way, and then translates those images into the words you hear on the records. “Love is all around you . . .” Hails from Idabelle, Oklahoma, and his heart is still firmly planted there. Brings his good ol’ boy demeanor out on the road, which makes it a great time for all. Always laughing, always wondering. Constantly making friends and rescuing stray dogs.

Brian Wheat (Bassist)
Holds down a tight bass line onstage and “baseline” off-stage. This guy lives and breathes business sense. No nonsense, no B.S. Searching for the perfect reclusive rock star life. Currently searching for his own villa in Tuscany to make his fate en complete. (Brought along two Gibson Thunderbirds and a Hofner Beetles Bass, the reissue. A avid Paul McCartney fan, Brian keeps his 1963 original Hofner locked up safe back in the States.)

Dave Rude (Guitars)
The new guy. Great guitarist. Check him give Frank a run for his money on “Real to Reel”, the latest Tesla album, a double album of mainly 70’s covers. Don’t know a whole lot about him, yet, other than he lives with a pair of headphones on his head. This guy is into music. I’ll have to take a peak at his iPod to check out his influences. Whoever influences him, they did a great job.
