Jim Tedeschi  (Bass Guitar & Vocals)

Jim's music career began in high school, playing country music at Reatta Pass steakhouse, Sunset Lounge in Globe and smokey bars around Casa Grande, Payson and Tucson.  Country turned to Southern Rock (Sky Blue Water Band), which turned to 80's rock (Trout Fishing in America AZ), which turned to Lounge (Bermuda Schwartz), and then a sidestep to the Great Northwest.  Upon returning to AZ, Jim has a new-found love and appreciation for Arizona and the country music that he knew growing up.  Jim's song "High in the Highlands" is featured on KDKB Arizona Sounds Volume II. 

Rick Henry   (Lead Guitar)

Rick has been playing for many years in various bands. Starting in his home state of Florida, he played on both east and west coasts in rock and hard rock bands. Moving to Raleigh NC, Rick enjoyed the college circuit (not to mention the partying). Back to Tampa, FL for a few years, he was part of several local bands playing most of the rock clubs. Moving to Chicago for the next 17 years, he had opportunities to join several quality bands hitting the blues clubs and rock circuit from Rockford to South Chicago. Moving to Phoenix in 2007 , Rick has been fortunate to have been a part of several excellent bands. He is blues based at heart but is versed in R&B, Funk, Rock, Pop and Country. His enjoyment is getting out and showcasing the music and band for the crowd to enjoy.

Craig Milne  (Drums & Vocals)

Craig began playing drums and saxophone at 9 years continuing through high school jazz band. Preferring metal and hard rock he joined a band touring western Canada throughout the 80s.  The band went onto to be featured on Good Rockin Tonight.  Canada's version of MTV.   After he was accepted into Musicians Institute of Technology in LA but instead completed a degree in Computer Engineering and eventually raising a family.  It was not until he moved to the USA in 2006 that music became prominent again playing in church.  And the past few years playing in both country and hard rock bands.  He is also a lead and backup vocalist enjoying bandmates that he can harmonize with.
