Born and raised in Boston, he's recently learned towns beyond Worcester exist, so he's traded in his penny loafers for cowboy boots. He is a trained sound engineer and A talented song writer. His influences include Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder and George Jones. Richard Swenson (Bass, support vocals)

At age 5, Rick was diagnosed with a severe hearing loss and found comfort and solace through musical vibration. He began banging on drums and keyboards at a young age finding sensory satisfaction as well as artistic expression through music. Rick’s Native American ancestry always demonstrated to him the significance of music, the drum being representative of the heartbeat of Mother Earth, and the powerful energy that occurs when people come together in song and dance. Growing up, he was extremely active on the Pow Wow circuit playing drums and performing Native chanting and songs in both New England and Canada. Rick and his Native drum group have put out two CDs which continue to be utilized at Native ceremonies, Pow Wows and for teaching purposes in school systems and historical societies throughout New England. Along with many surgeries, strong faith, and some say the healing influence of the Native drum, Rick has regained most of his hearing. He continues to explore other instruments and found a new passion with the bass guitar for its deep, vibrational appeal, as well as various music styles and melodies as he continues on his musical journey. The gift of sound has helped drive his love for music with influences from The Rolling Stones, Rush, The Beatles, Guns & Roses, to a more country style like Luke Bryan, Old Dominion, & Dierks Bentley to name a few. With him, Rick brings to a heart-felt thump through his bass guitar playing, compelling gratitude and a spiritual passion for music. Fran StJaques Jr (Drums)
