Lewis Mallet (Vocals)

In my career as a vocalist, I have had various privileges and experiences with a top name artist like Carlton Thompson who is a local artist. I’ve provided background vocals on his CD entitled, “As We Walk In The Light” which climbed to number one in another country. I’ve also had the opportunities to open for BeBe and CeCe Winans, Mom and Pops Winans, and Fred Hammond. In 1997, I released my first CD titled, “Lord I Love You”. That same year, I aired on 1290 FM. I have preformed all over Wisconsin as well as many other states doing a multitude of concerts, weddings and receptions. I had the pleasure to meet Hank Aaron while performing at his son’s wedding. I was also honored to perform for over 12,000 veterans.

 

Mary (Vocals)

Since 1990, I have performed vocals with “Sweet Cheeks”, “Sequel” and “Uptown Soundz” which were local Milwaukee bands. I first joined “Sweet Cheeks” in 1990 after vocal training, playing at such events as Summerfest, Wisconsin State Fair and Waukesha County Fair. I enjoy all types of music and have experience singing R & B, funk, classic rock and alternative rock. My own band, “Sequel” performed around the Milwaukee area for 8 years…I handled all the bookings and managed the band, in addition to my role as lead vocalist.

 

Leigh Ann (Guitar)

Formerly with “Jeff Bell/One Man's Trash”, “Miss Behave” and “Dollhouse”. My musical interests/influences are: Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Steely Dan, Sting, Tower of Power, Rush, Parliament Funkadelic, to name a few. I had formal training in music theory and guitar performance at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and guitar performance at Musician's Technical Institute ("Music Tech") in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 

Randy (Bass)

I was in a couple of bands before. The last band was in early 2001 and was a classic rock band. We played mostly in bars and had a lot of fun at it. Before that I just played around with other musicians from time to time. The only other band I was in was in the late 1960s. Then it was just rock. My hobbies include love of music and love of animals. I'm a people person I love interacting with other people. In short, I love playing music just for fun.

 

Larry (Drums)

I began playing music at the age of eight years old. I was fortunate enough to have parents who didn't toss me out by the seat of my pants from all the banging and crashing pouring out of the basement! I was also fortunate to study drumming with jazz guitarist, George Pritchett. His influence will remain with me forever. My performing background includes R & B, blues, rock and country. I have enjoyed working/jamming with many musicians...most notably Kerry McConaway and The Element, Matt Schroeder (The Barbeez), Zoinks, Geoff Landon & the Wolf Pack, Mick Sobolik (Echo Road) and Randy Reed (Great Guns). I enjoy a wide variety of music. My current favorites include Keith Urban, Allison Krauss, Robben Ford, Kelly Clarkson, Sting and Tina Turner.

Mike Hetzel (Keyboards and vocals)

I've been playing professionally since the mid ‘70s... I've played everything from rock and roll to jazz and classical to the standards. I also write my own music with my son, “Mikey.” I've played with numerous bands or as a soloist throughout my musical career...I also own and operate “Pretzel Studios TM,” a digital audio recording studio in Men. Falls and “Pretzel Sound TM,” a sound and light reinforcement company, specializing in indoor and outdoor musical events throughout S.E. WI. Recently, I “retired” from a 20+ year career in banking which gives me more time to devote to my passion of composing music, playing music, running sound and recording local artists at my studio. Amidst my other projects is playing keys for “Soulmate”, which I'm proud to be part of.
