Bob provides 1/2 of our dueling accordions. We enjoy it when Bob can make it to a gig.... in between his adventures to anywhere and everywhere in the world!
Tony is the guy out front with the Raybans. He's the self-proclaimed Media Darling of our band and the Audience Participation Director.
Jim is the Percussion Specialist of the Bier Band. Not only does he play a mean snare drum, he's also got a plethora of other percussion toys.
Michele is the "token" female for the Bier Band. The divine Miss "M", our soul DIVA. Kinda like Prince when he turned his name into a symbol. You GO GIRL! SMOKIN'!
