Joel on the Fender, Algona Days 2006
Joel Burgeson – Guitars, Vocals
Joel Burgeson has been playing guitar since the age of twelve. He has a deep appreciation and admiration for all genres of music, with influences ranging from classical guitarist Andres Segoviato to the late Texas blues titan Freddie King, and most everyone in between. Joel’s love for the music is evident in his passion to play and sing it. When asked who are some of your influences he has said… “basically anyone who has anything to say as long as they say it with soul!” Joel is relentless in his pursuit to squeeze as much feeling as possible from every note he plays.
Ted at Algona Days 2006
Ted Cooke – Bass Guitar
For twenty plus years Ted Cooke has been faithfully laying down groove after groove on his beloved fender basses. He has a keen sense for melody and his ability to execute “off the cuff” spontaneously has been proven invaluable time and time again. His devotion to create good music is greatly appreciated and shows in every snap, pop and slide he muscles from his strings. Every nuance of his playing and his technical ability are ingredients that add up to his own unique recipe.
- Pat playing his custom Taye drums, Algona Days 2006
Pat O’Hern – Drums
Pat O’Hern as been playing drums locally for twenty-five years and is the backbone of the band. The foundation he lays down with his intricate syncopathion, back beats and rhythm compels the band to greater creativity. His insight and discernment to how the flow of the music should sound is a gift… bar none! His love for the music he plays stands out in each explosive crash played on the cymbals, each sonic boom felt from the kick and each piercing snap of the snare.
