Member Biographies

Chris Conley - Born of a steamy affair in the summer of 1973 between Jimi Hendrix and Margaret Thatcher, Chris was clearly headed for greatness. By becoming a drummer, he ensured greatness could never happen. Luckily, he went to a well respected university, is a safe driver, and is kind to the elderly…as evidenced by his generous relationship with the rest of the band. Number of dogs - 2 Number of hats - 14 Todd ‘One Take’ Belcher - What can ya’ say about a guy who learned guitar from someone in the Sparkletones!?! Insisting he learn the greatest American art form, being a Rock Star, after hearing ZZ Top’s Tush at the age of ten, Todd has done all in his power to fulfill the dream… he even has a Jeep. No stranger to the second greatest American art form, baseball, Todd has hit more home runs than anyone in the band. Favorite Channel- The History Channel Number of kids- 4 Bobby 'the Ocho' Summers - As an athletic prodigy Bobby spent his first ten years training for a gymnastics career tragically cut short by his ever growing cranium and his passionate interest in ranch dressing and onion rings. He spent the better part of his next 30 years tearin’ up juke joints, dives, clubs, & churches all over the southeast. Playing a spectrum of music that includes R&B, Roots Rock, Gospel & Blues with passion & conviction that would intimidate any olympic gymnist. Role Models- Jesus & Johnny Cash Hat Size- ocho Kris Evans - On loan from the Vienna Museum of Musical History, Kris’ vocal chords have been handed down through centuries of musical geniuses. Parts of her have sang for Amadeus, Bach, Napoleon, Cab Calloway, Stevie Wonder & Colonel Sanders. Kris’ true triumph in the band is two-fold: 1. her ability to wear make up, as is the social custom of the day; (Rick’s guy liner will have to hold for now) and her spectacular lip gloss is worth any price of admission. 2. despite being the shortest member of the band she could beat any one of them in a basketball game . Favorite Team- whatever team Breanna’s on Favorite Movie- whatever Tyler Perry’s in ‘Lightnin’ Rick Fisher - The Crossover member voted most able to install a pacemaker and/or captain a battleship. Rick used to play the trumpet…seriously, and the drums, but hasn’t everybody?! Rick’s greatest achievement musically has been how close he grew up to where the Carter Family recorded the first country album ever…the famous Bristol Sessions. In your face Rick Rubin!! Favorite writer- Hunter S. Thompson Vehicles- pick up, 2-door sedan, Harley Road King, boat, 4 bicycles Alan 'the Rocket' Stephenson - Let’s start with this…Alan has a functioning vintage Tommy machine gun. Yeah, like the one Al Capone would have used. Let’s move on to this…European tours with Sabbath, tours with Steppenwolf in the states. You see the connection, don’t you…he tours with whoever he wants cause he’s got the most guns. Softening that rugged image is his Jeff Gordon affection and the fact that he has a Harry Potter wizard’s hat. Favorite Team- UNC Skydives - 137
