Chris Wheeler
Lead Vocals
Chris’s musical journey kicked off at age 12, when his father handed him his very first guitar and taught him those first three essential chords. From that moment on, music became the heart and soul of his life. He dove headfirst into high school garage bands, honing his craft and igniting a passion that would fuel decades of performance. Rise to the Road Originally hailing from the Boston area, Chris spent 1987 to 1992 lighting up venues all over New England. In 1992, the big break he’d been chasing arrived: an invitation to join a nationally touring show band. For years, he racked up miles—from Maine’s rocky coast to Florida’s sandy beaches, out to California’s Pacific waves, and everywhere in between. It was on that relentless road schedule that Chris learned the power of discipline, especially when it comes to the business side of music. Wedding Business & Relocation After years on tour, Chris returned east to settle down and bring his talents to the wedding circuit. From the late ’90s into 2014, he became a fixture in wedding entertainment—delivering unforgettable celebrations and sharpening his skills as a consummate professional. In 2014, a new adventure began when he relocated to the Washington, D.C. area.
Jason Robling
Lead guitar, bass guitar
Jason started in music at the age of 9 with classical piano lessons, but his parents would also blast the Eagles, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac in the evenings. The first record he bought was a 45 RPM of “Ramblin’ Man” by the Allman Brothers, so it was quite natural to switch to guitar at age 14 after hearing Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Van Halen, and ZZ Top (as well as many others in that vein). After a few years, he was exposed to jazz and fusion and became very interested in guitar players such as Danny Gatton, Kenny Burrell, Joe Pass, Jeff Beck and the music of Steely Dan. After high school, Jason received a B.A. in Music from The George Washington University, and went on to play in many bands, as well as teaching, writing, recording, and producing & engineering recordings. Musical engagements of note include tours of the East Coast playing original music, as well as extended engagements the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, Saint Croix, USVI). Like most guitarists, Jason is an avid guitar gear enthusiast… and it is likely that he has more pedals than his wife has shoes.
Geoff Easthope
Drums & Percussion
Geoff (Jeff) Easthope hails from the outskirts of London in the UK. Growing up as a child he remembers the first time he picked up a drumstick and let it fall on a small drum. “It just bounced right back” he remembers. “The feeling was kind of magical”. That moment sparked a fascination that would shape his life. He started his “professional” musical career at age 14 playing weekends with much older musicians in local restaurants. It was a place to gain valuable experience even if the music was not to his taste. His early influences were from the British progressive rock scene and featured such bands as ELP, Yes, and the Nice. He soon discovered The Who and the inimitable Keith Moon and there was no turning back. Upon completion of high school, he went straight into playing full time and was excited to be earning a living as a musician. Unfortunately, this was right while Disco was gripping the nation, and his life became a monotonous thudding of “four on the floor” all night. ‘Very uninspiring, but it did give me an impeccable sense of time”, he recalls. It was the push-back against disco that ushered in such counterrevolutionary bands as the Police, with whom he became aware of through his younger brother who was just starting” to show an interest in other things besides football. “At first I lumped them in with other new wave/punk bands of the time and dismissed them”, he recalls. However, it soon became clear that they were a band unlike any other. Sting was obviously a true poet and the collective talents of all three members resulted in a sum greater than its parts. Copeland’s playing was fresh and aggressive and blended ska and reggae and other more traditional rock beats to produce something unheard of at the time. Fast forward to today and after years of performing everything except this kind of music Geoff was excited about the challenge. “it’s not until you try to play a whole night’s worth of these tunes that you really appreciate how different this music is”, he recounts. “Everything feels upside down and the hardest thing is remembering not to come down hard on the ‘one’ all the time.”
