Michael Faubion. Guitar and vocals

He's a self-taught picker and not very good at imitating other people's styles, hence he's developed a distinctive sound of his own. Thirty years in the business. Writes songs. Plays other people's songs like he wrote them too.

Credits: Wrote, produced and directed "Greetings From Paris on the Kuskokwim," a CD collection of hysterical songs about Bethel, Alaska.

Tom Torvie. Bass and vocals

Tom was born near Bonetrail Township, abandoned by wolves and raised by Republicans in the Badlands of Dakota. He has played music for more than 30 years, on the road (trail?) from Nome to Fort Francis, Ontario. He has owned eight basses over the years and played each with the groove and assurance of a born professional. He has played with over 200 musicians and 30 bands, and is still counting.
His first full-time gig was with a yodeler who had a repertoire of about 5,000 songs. He would start a song and, if in a generous mood, would tell Tom the key. Thus Tom learned early how to find keys with his ears.

Howard Okland. Percussion

Howard has a BA degree in Physics and a MS in Geology. He works full-time as a Geologist and teaches mathematics part time for a local university. He has been a ham radio operator for over 45 years. So what’s he doing hanging out and playing music with a pair of musicians like Mike and Tom? The simple answer is, “I like hitting things.” The complicated answer is “I gain a substantial quantity of pleasure creating delta functions in synchronicity with various sonic wave forms created by vibrating linear masses and columns of the atmospheric gases.” He plays the right amount of percussion on a snare drum, hand drum and hi-hat, too.
