Jim B (jim.b@donttelljames.com)   Drums and percussion, lead and background vocals, cool vibes   Jim has been playing drums for over 30 years, starting in the Muchachos Drum and Bugle Corps.  His drum corps experience has helped him to maintain steady rhythms, control and disipline. Jim has been a part of several projects including The Paul Henry Band, Fluid and Side Effect.  He plays Pearl Drums or Roland electronic drums, depending on the stage.  Jim resides in Lyndeborough, NH with his wife Lisa and is a printer/graphic designer. Did we mention that Jim exclusively plays Pearl acoustic drums and Roland® electronic drums? So far an endorsement deal isn't in the works, so he has to pay for the @#%&* gear himself.  Any takers?

Rob B (rob@donttelljames.com)   Guitars, lead and background vocals, great toys   Rob hails from the greater Boston area where he started playing in bands while in high school.  After a stint in CT at U-Conn for his Business degree, he returned to MA where he met his lovely wife Carol.  They played together in a band, love blossomed, the rest is history. Rob has been involved in the music business from many angles including player, live sound engineer, and recording studio co-owner/chief engineer and bottle washer.  Currently he is an outside sales rep in the computer storage industry.  He and Carol reside in Framingham, MA with their 3 dogs and 2 cats. Rob plays guitars from many manufacturers including Gibson, Fender, Hamer, Anderson Guitarworks, Paul Reed Smith, and Suhr.  His amp arsenal includes Bogner, Bad Cat, Mesa Engineering, and Carr. Rob has become a Zen Master in the art of owning so many instruments that it's near impossible to tell when he brings a different one to a rehearsal or gig.

Paul B (paul@donttelljames.com)   Saxophone, keyboards, lead and background vocals, reminiscing   Paul has been playing in bands since the age of 16, and we don't want to get into how long ago that was. From the 80's to the present he has been involved in numerous projects; most notably, Vehicle and Mistress from the Keene area.  When he joined Vehicle in 1986 he was asked to play Sax & Keyboards. The only keyboard training he had was a Piano Techniques class at Keene State College.  The challenge to play keys was overcome with a little help from Keith Mckane and the rest is history.  He was a member of the Jonathan Webster Band from 2001-2004, where he played keys and brought his Rock and Roll sax sound to the band.  After two years of playing pickup gigs here and there, he is now the latest member of Don't Tell James! [But, Don't Tell James!] Paul plays a 1963 Selmer Mark VI Alto Sax, Selmer Super Action 80 Series III Tenor Sax, a Korg PA80 and Korg X5 Keyboards.  His influences are Maceo Parker, Clarence Clemmons, and Michael Brecker. Paul hasn't been around long enough to garner a witty, self-depreciating byline.  Donations will be accepted at upcoming gigs.

Jim M (jim.m@donttelljames.com)   Bass, lead and background vocals, funny stories   Jim M lives in Jaffrey, NH with his wife of 33 years, Candy and their two Samoyed dogs.  Jim and Bruce played together over 20 years ago and had lost touch until Don’t Tell James was looking for a bassist and Jim answered the ad! Jim holds a B.A. in Music Theory and Composition from Keene State College and is actually a trombonist by training.  His day gig is teaching elementary and middle school music in Keene, NH.  His past bands have included Vehicle, Mistress, Midnight Bandits, Seven Day Dream, and The Visionaries.  Jim’s other activities include serving on the Keene State College Alumni Board of Directors and the National Council of The Phi Mu Delta Fraternity.  Jim plays Fender basses exclusively (except for his Hofner), and uses Tech 21 amplification through custom speakers. Jim gets real quiet and sad when you ask him for any details of his past bands.  Maybe if you bought him about three fingers of Bushmill's, he'd open up.

Bruce W (bruce@donttelljames.com)   Keyboards, lead and background vocals, rhythm guitar, percussion, strange noises   Bruce originally hails from Western NY, and has been playing in bands for decades, starting as a lead singer at the early age of ten.  He has played almost every kind of popular music including rock, pop/Top 40, R&B, country, gospel, progressive-rock, jazz/fusion, and even performed solo as an acoustic guitarist and pianist for a time. Bruce's many past projects include Bad Habit, Moondance, Lazy Eight, Thin Ice, Stranger, Circus, Vehicle, Tunestone, and The Perpetrators.  Bruce often works with other local acts as a fill-in keyboard player and backup vocalist. Bruce plays a variety of keyboards and MIDI gear, centered around a full-size Korg BX-3 organ with custom Leslie Speaker, and an Access Virus synthesizer. He plays an Ovation acoustic guitar, and a Fender Telecaster. Bruce's keyboards may contain one or more of the following:  organ, piano, electric piano, synthesizers, vocoder, Clavinet, Mellotron, movie clips, buzzes, clicks, polysorbium carbonate, sodium benzoate, starch, Red Dye No. 3.
