Doug Krause: Piano and Vocals
Doug Krause has been a professional musician and composer for several decades now. His characteristic writing and performing style comes from years spent moving between the pop/rock, blues, and country genres as well as classical music. A small town boy from the plains of Kansas, he had a natural affinity for the music of the heartland but quickly discovered that the blues and southern rock suited his piano and singing style perfectly. In 2019, Doug was inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame for his work with the band, Fyre. He was honored in 2024 with an induction into the Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame. Doug's influences include among others Little Feat, Bruce Hornsby, The Band, and Dr. John.

Mark Messenger: Drums and Vocals
Mark grew up in the Midwest and was greatly influenced by the Motown sound of the 70s as well as almost every rock genre of the time. Coming from a very musical family, Mark taught himself to play many instruments including guitar, piano and of course the drums. Beginning with grade school band percussion and on through high school, Mark learned about music in an ensemble setting culminating with playing in local rock bands. After moving to Colorado in the mid 70s, he began meeting and playing with local musicians and developing a strong desire to play good music with good musicians. He has played in many bands since then as a part time avocation and has only recently retired from a "regular" job so that now he plays with many bands as a first call drummer. Sometimes it's a manic schedule, but he's living his best life with the support of his wonderful family!
