Rikk Prado Keyboards/Guitarist/Vocalist

Somebody get this guy a tranquilizer!!!!!!!! From his days with his original band Big Guns to his stellar work with top cover act such as Pop Culture and E7 ( a.k.a. the Trinidad Panmasters) this guy has left his mark on every dance floor across the state of Texas and California.

Chrissy Hornberger Vocalist

More than just a pretty face, this former 1994 Miss Teen San Antonio has shown South Texas how to vocally get an audience on their feet and on the dance floor. She has been mesmerizing audiences since the early age of 9 years old. Though at an early age Chrissy has still managed to travel the U.S. performing and making stops in Los Angeles and Nashville to have her vocals laid down on recordings. Overwhelming vocals and a vivacity stage performance have clearly made this New Millennium Raver Rookie of the Year in South Texas.

Duane Gress Bassist, Vocalist

Solid, solid, solid. What else can said about this guy’s bass playing? Along with tremendous harmony ability, Duane has also shown his hand in songwriting while winning several awards in and around the Washington D.C. Being in this act has allowed him to show off all of his musical styles, rather if it’s funk, blues, techno, or straightforward rock-n-roll. His years and years of performing allow him to carry his professionalism on stage as well as off. One side bar is that he is pretty proud of the fact that he is 9-0 in battle of the band contest. Sorta like the Steve Kerr of rock-n-roll.
