"Thar"

Thar (Ryan Guerreo), also known as "Star Child", is one of the Speakeasy Boy's two guitarists. Thar's playing is always first class and he has the uncanny ability to improvise quality lyrics on-the-spot.

"Chief Red Salsa of the Chipotle Indian Tribe"

Chief Red Salsa (Nathan Webb), also known as "Shockra", is the Speakeasy Boy's other guitarist. Nathan's strong native rhythms add drive to the Speakeasy Boy's sound and his singing is quite powerful.

 

"Jeb"

Jeb (Jesse Shultzaberger) is the Speakeasy Boy's banjo player and tin-can percussionist. Specializing in the Packhorse Ford hobo banjo style, his uniquely original claw-hammer-like style can skin more cats than one. In addition to banjo, Jeb also plays a home-made tin can drum contraption, affectionately named Jeb Jr. - always a crowd pleaser.

 

 

"Mando Matt"

Mando Matt Robinson, also known as "Nitro", is the Speakeasy Boy's mandolin player. Matt enjoys rocking out tight jams and laying down hot licks and his sound adds a bit of flare to the music.

 

"Schmied"

Scott Schmied, also known as "Thumper", is the Speakeasy Boy's washtub bass player. Scott uses only one string, the G string, which he has been known to pop on occasion. The deep thump of his washtub adds a strong backdrop for the rest of the band and his high-pitched backup vocals are reminscent of old, Appalachian mountain music.

Robbie "The Wizard"

Rob "the Wizard" Carruthers is the Speakeasy Boy's fiddle player. Being an old time player and an old timer himself, he brings a magic authenticity to the group.
