TIME AND A HALF BAND IS:
Roger ~ Lead Guitar and Vocals
Roger has over 18 years of band experience and is a true professional. He keeps the band strong and professional on and off stage. With his diverse playing style, he offers outstanding guitar work which match his excellent vocal stylings. Roger began playing guitar at 12 years of age and was influenced by his father, Roger and brother Rick who were both lifelong musicians. Growing up, there was always music in the house, whether it be singing, playing or the radio, the Glenna house was never quiet. Roger formed bands with friends at a young age and began playing professionally over 18 years ago. Roger is the quintessential Bob Dylan devotee, calling Dylan "the most integral human being I know of." Though his music passion is Dylan, Roger also loves rock, country, folk and blues as he believes they are a "musical study of the American masses."
Susan ~ Keyboards and Vocals
Susan has over 20 years professional music experience with deep roots in country music as well as being a professionally trained classical singer. Her piano playing is fantastic yet slightly overshadowed by her incredible voice. She is referred to by everyone that she meets as “bubbly.” Susan's musical abilities began at a very young age. Her parents recognized and encouraged her love for music and took her for organ lessons. Her teacher, Paul Finanger, took her to farm and home shows and county fairs where she helped to sell Kimball organs as a child. As soon as she was able, she began playing saxophone in grade school and continued through high school, playing in jazz, concert and pep bands. In college, she majored in instrumental and vocal music education and had the honor of playing in Dr. Greg Balfany's college jazz band. Susan also trained as a classical singer, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in vocal music education. Susan enjoys the music of "Little River Band" in addition to any of the great vocal bands such as Journey and Styx and is influenced by 1970's country music.
Scott ~ Bass and Vocals
Scott has lived in England, Scotland, Iceland and ten different US states AND HAS BEEN KICKED OUT OF THEM ALL. Just kidding. His family is from Scotland and Ireland. Scott has nearly 30 years of experience playing in bands all across the United States and United Kingdom. He feels that his strongest influences have been The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin though he has interests in many areas of popular music. He can play over a dozen instruments as well as being vocally talented. One of Scott's most memorable gigs was being able to play in a Beatles tribute band and actually performed at the "Cavern Club' where the actual Beatles got their start. When asked why he likes to perform he said, "It's all about the emotional exchange with the crowd." Some of Scott's more personal information is that he is a connoisseur of Indian food, believes round-abouts are better than four-way stops and he really likes Lady Gaga.
Tom ~ Lots of Drums
Tom was born in La Crosse, Wisconsin and has pursued his musical career since the age of 8 when he first heard his neighbor play drums. At 14, he managed to buy his first real drum kit. He was originally influenced by Buddy Rich but since, has been idolizing drummers like Neil Peart and Barrymore Barlow. He has played varying styles from marching band to contemporary christian to blues and heavy metal and back again. One of his most memorable jams was with the bass player for Molly Hatchett. He insists that performing as a drummer is truly for satisfaction within and agrees, like most musicians, that somewhere after years and years of performing, we could still make a profit. Tom rarely dines out but when he does he goes out bigtime. No simple burger for him; king crab legs for him. Tom's powerful kick drum is the backbone for Time and a Half.
