William Walter was found at the foot of Mt. Baldy as an infant. Apparently abandoned by his mother, he was adopted by a group of nomadic sherpas and was sold shortly thereafter to a group of traveling Bavarian gypsy sheep herders. After a freak snowy season killed off 97% of the heard, the gypsies were forced to make money entertaining with hand made, (and stolen), instruments in brothels and other houses of ill repute through out northern Europe. It was here William Walter learned to play the guitar. He continues to travel, and maintains a flock of companions that assist him in making music, merriment and other forms general good timin' along the way. |

Tucker Rogers lives in Charlottesville, VA, and has played up and down the East Coast, sharing the stage or studio with the likes of Man Mountain jr, William Walter & Co, the Wailers, and Donovan Frankenreiter, among others. Growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and steeped in the blues and fingerpicking styles of traditional Appalachian music, Tucker was also intrigued by the sounds of other artists ranging from Albert King to Bjork to the Dead Kennedys. All Grooves and all Situations appeal to him, and he is always up for a challenge. Tucker plays Martin and Taylor acoustics and the Fender Telecaster, using DR strings, and brings blues, soul and energy to any project. |

Stuart Holme lives in Charlottesville, VA, and has played music since
he was 8 years old. He started on the piano. Eventually, on the good
advice from a friend, he purchased Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the
Moon" and learned to play bass by ear. He began internalizing what it
means to play music: music is the listening art. He expanded to Led
Zeppelin, The Blues Brothers, Little Feat, Blue Oyster Cult, and
others. Later in college he also fell in love with The Specials, The
Wailers, Toots and the Maytals, The Jam, Joe Jackson, and Grateful
Dead plus many others. Stuart plays Fender, Spector, and Warwick
basses through Eden amps and Eden and Genz Benz speakers. He uses DR
bass strings and Monster instrument cables. Stuart enjoys laying down
a thick groove, supporting a great vocalist, or taking a melodic solo,
always striving to bring tone, groove, and power to everything he plays. |

Adam Slivers was formerly a CIA operative working as an assassin in small, little known countries that end in "stan". While on reconnaissance for a top secret mission, he was identified and targeted for execution by a break-away rouge agent. Adam was shot twenty three times in the head, back, neck and left shoulder. In the knife fight that ensued, he also lost his small pinky toe. Left for dead on a beach, but quite lucky to be alive, he was found by a beautiful concert pianist who also happened to be a physician. After two years of surgeries, extensive physical therapy, and several attempts to reattach his pinky toe, Adam finally began taking piano lessons. He discovered he had a gift for the keyboard and pursued his newfound calling night and day. Eventually, his talent would lead him back to the United States... To escape detection by the CIA, as well as all of the countries he formerly worked in, Adam changed his last name to Silvers and took a job as a lounge pianist aboard a second rate cruise line where he met William Walter and joined the world's most dangerous band.
