MEMBER BIOS   Erin Vocals, Keyboards Erin's dad bought her a Roland Juno 6 synth when he found her ignoring her piano lessons and instead playing with the radio to Ozzy and Zeppelin, and thus it began. She started by playing rock keyboards, then turned to singing lead in various pop, R&B, and rock bands - also played blues and Mowtown/funk in Minneapolis. Her closest brush with fame was singing in a funk band with Prince's personal assistant, meeting Jellyfish and Dionne Ferris, her 3 faves. Other influences include Steve Perry, Tommy Shaw, Chaka, Bonnie Raitt, Toto, Jason Mraz, Foo Fighters, anything disco, the Eddie Butts Band....and the Doors.

His father bought him a synthesizer for him on his 13th birthday, and he was hooked as a keyboard player. In high school he and his best friend formed a 7-piece band named Tempest along with other local friends and enjoyed five years playing during the 70's live music era. They recorded an original album entitled "Three Shots For the Band" and played throughout Wisconsin. During college, he studied music and then later played in two other area bands - Hydra and Troy. After taking years off for babies and business, he joined Zoinks, a Milwaukee area band in 1999. In 2007, he joined the cover band Last Call, where he met Rob. Rob left that band and joined with Len to start a new venture which evolved into 2 Sides Live!
