Chuck Vavra - Guitar / Keys / Vocals

Chuck has been a musician since he was 7 years old. When he was in the 3rd grade he wanted to play tenor sax, but his parents bought him a trombone instead. He ended up playing that thing through his senior year in high school. At the age of 17 he bought his first guitar after realizing that playing the trombone just wasn't enough to fullfill his musical desires. In his early 20's Chuck bought his first synth and it turns out he had a knack for bangin' the ivorys as well.

Chuck has played guitar and keys in several popular rock cover bands over the years including Rush tribute "Signals", Dawn Patrol, Fleetwood Mac/Heart tribute "Mirage" and X-Side.

Hobbies included ridin' the hog, Web development, graphic design and jamming any chance he gets.

Art Nunez - Guitar / Vocals

Art’s love affair with the guitar began at the age of 3 years old. Unfortunately his parents didn't support him on it until he was finally able to convince his mom to buy him a guitar at the age of 12. His life was changed from that point on and he started learning to play songs by Metallica, Black Sabbath, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Skid Row, Poison, Bon Jovi...etc. He soon joined Vertigo (Not the U2 tribute) that did mainly Metallica covers and went on from there. Art soon started to write original music. The lack of musicians in the area motivated him to learn to play the bass guitar and keyboards to fulfill his needs in his project studio. Art’s most notable original band was Chicago based Servitude. After many years of playing originals he hung up his gloves and joined the cover scene playing bass in the Bon Jovi tribute band New Jersey. He later joined the party band Roundhouse and worked as a gun for hire for Bad Medicine, Three Finger Fencl, as well as other local cover bands. While in New Jersey he was united with Dave Ratkovich who replaced the original drummer. The original keyboardist soon went on to bigger and better things and Art and Dave were united with Chuck Vavra. Was it fate that brought us all together? We may never know, but this story does have a Happy Ending!
