Luke Hanks - Vocals
Luke was born in the deep southern region of North America ....well, not so much the deep south as it is the middle...I guess it’s more the far western region of central Ohio , also known as Hilliard. After high school, Luke traveled to the Degobah System to train with Yoda in the art of Jedi Masterdom. During this course of study, Luke also trained in the art of singing. Since he couldn’t lift boxes from a distance simply by raising his hand, he stuck with singing. With no formal musical training, aside from piano lessons as a kid, he has decided to spread his wings and spend more time with fruits such as John, Fred, Trevor, and Wooty… John Jenkins - Drums
John began playing the drums at the age of 11. For years, John studied jazz, orchestra, trap and other various forms of percussion. Realizing chicks don't dig orchestra percussionists, John grew his hair and joined the band Legacy. During his 4-year tenure with Legacy, John gained valuable live performance experience, playing shows throughout the Midwest United States in front of crowds ranging from several hundred to several thousand. John has recorded over 30 songs in professional studio environments. His work can be heard on various CDs, including projects with Star Song Records and Pure Metal Records. John also spent several years enjoying the local music scene in the early/mid 90's with bands such as the Final Prayer and Jester. He has performed at many local venues, including the Ohio Center (Batelle Hall), The Newport, The Ohio State Fair, and the Alrosa Vila. After taking several years off to use his college degree to get a real job, John reunited with several members of Legacy in 1996 to form the band "Blame Lucy", who ultimately signed with Gray Dot Records. Once again, John gained valuable recording and live performance experience. Trevor Lorton - Guitar And Vocals
Trevor Lorton has been playing and writing with bands since 1995. He is most known as the rhythm guitarist and writer for the band Shaker, who were together from 1996-2000. Shaker produced two albums during that time with producer Rick May and sold out every copy of their first record, "Change". The title track on the album was played nationwide and was popular on local Columbus stations in 1997. Trevor currently writes and helps produce his own music and collaborated with John and Wooty to create Granny Shot. His playing style and vocal talent bring a level of professionalism that is hard to find in cover bands today. Trevor is married and has three children.
Fred Blanchard - Guitar And Vocals
Fred has been playing and writing in bands since 1983. His first "club" gig was at the age of 15 in a "Battle Of The Bands" at a bar here in Columbus. Fred knew from then on that playing in front of an audience was something he couldn't live without. He has played in 2 nationally, signed bands: "Legacy" on StarSong / Pure Metal Records (1989), and "Blame Lucy" on GrayDot Records (1998), and has performed across the US from Rhode Island to California. Fred holds down a "real" job as a Systems Analyst......and in his spare time he runs the recording studio and web development company, Flaming Doe Productions. Matt "Wooty" Wootton - Bass Guitar
Matt has been playing electric bass for eleven years, not really counting the last two to three years because he was too busy with grad school to concentrate on music. He used to play in the pop rock band Send the Beggar (Rustproof Records) which recorded two albums in Nashville, and has performed at large festivals in several states. He received his Master's Degree in City Planning from Ohio State in June 2003 and works in real estate development, but still loves playing music too much to give it up. His main musical influences include Elliott Smith, Sunny Day Real Estate, Michael Penn, Jason Falkner, The Smiths, and Ben Folds Five.
