Lead guitarist and vocalist Gary Shull has been playing since the age of 12. He has relatives who played music when he was just a little boy, and it was a big influence on him. He has played everything from country and rock and roll to R & B and blues. He worked with several area groups from the Zantrels in the 60's to Karen Whistler and Tapestry in 90's, where he was fortunate enough to open for legendary performer Johnny Paycheck, and also for Neal McCoy when he was still a rising star. He was inducted into the Wabash Valley Musician's Hall of Fame in 2006. |

Bassist and vocalist Robert (Bob) Lane started playing guitar at the age of 13. He grew up in a musical household, which was a big influence on him. He learned bass at the age of 15 when a band he wanted to join needed a bass player, and decided to stay with the instrument (although he has played guitar on occasion when needed). He has played in several area bands from the 60's to the current time, including The Bitter End, The Royals, Stonegate, Enterprise, Northwest Express, and Brad Anderson & FanFare. He had the opportunity to play a few jobs with minor recording artist Henry Lee Summer. He was inducted into the Wabash Valley Musician's Hall of Fame in 2006, and currently serves on the HOF's board of directors. |

Vocalist Sharon Shull has been singing in groups since 1998. Music has been a big influence in her life since she was a child. Her paternal grandmother played piano in the church where her grandfather preached, and she had an uncle that played guitar and sang in a gospel group. She started performing with Karen Whistler and Tapestry, singing harmony backup vocals. Since then, she and husband Gary have enjoyed playing in several groups together. In addition to singing lead and harmony backup, she also helps out on percussion. |
