Jeremy Sutherland, Lead Vocals / Guitar

For 2 decades Jeremy has been creating music with a passion for anything and everything related to the unique. He is the vessel for interpreting emotion, refining and cultivating tales he shares with deft fingers on pen and guitar. His knack for composition and verse thrives with influences from culture, society, love, hate, life and death along with what catches his ear at any given moment. Jeremy’s vocal and musical influences range from the belted growls of James Hetfield to the lilting melodies of Chris Cornell all the way to the intricate and creative vocal dances of Maynard James Keenan. He is moved by vocals that are powerful and outside the realm of the ordinary.

Steve Dooley, Drums

Steve began his music career at age 10 when he was introduced to his best friends drum set along with the sounds of Led Zeppelin. Throughout middle and high school, he covered a range of popular rock and grunge bands with his 2 childhood friends. Doing so really helped Steve harness his talents which lead him to start a band with one of those same friends just out of high school called My New Life. They ended up touring extensively from 2001-2004. In 2004, Steve took a hiatus from music to become a father. In 2010 that hiatus ended in Northern CA when he started a band called Rooky Red Lion. They lasted until disbanding in 2016 when Steve moved to the Boise area.

Jonny Routt (Bass / Vocals)

The double punch: soul and intellect. Jonny is a songwriter, producer, engineer, multi-instrumentalist and an alumnus at Full Sail University with a B.S. in Music Production. Born into a religious and musical home and raised with southern charm, Jonny unites his life with his music leaving an impression that won’t soon fade. Jonny’s rhythmic pulse has been influenced by a myriad of musical talent including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Deftones, Pink Floyd, Jaco Pastorius and more.

Chris Jansen (Guitars – Keyboards & Vocals)

Composer, arranger, producer — Chris plays most anything that makes noise. With an education in theory, composition and arrangement, his career is a statement of contrast. He has worked with musicians around the world. Chris’ scope of influence creates an appreciation from the Dominican Friars of the Province of France to Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, Stravinsky, Vangelis, Twelve Foot Ninja — to name a few. While his soul thrives in jazz, he is able to easily navigate within the halls of rock.

Grady Hansen (Guitar)
