Charlie thrives on playing off of other players in the band, and trailing leads behind lead singers.

3 Band Member Biographies Though born and raised in Reading, PA, Charlie's roots reach deep into Orange, VA. This flavor shows in his ability to make his guitar sing or cry, whether it's gut-wrenching, string bending blues to melodic southern rock. Charlie thrives on playing off of other players in the band, and trailing leads behind lead singers. Charlie played bass guitar when he was young, but switched to lead guitar in 1975, playing lead for the first time. He was forced on the job after only three weeks of practice. That band lasted for 8 years. There were numerous bands in between until teaming up with lead singer Bill Rosser in 1999 and the music flowed, leaving listeners calling in for more on a Harrisburg, PA station. Their first CD, entitled "Chucky", shared airwaves with numerous top-notch local bands. 5 of the 8 tunes had phones ringing off the hook, and they are still being played to this date. Charlie also thrives on the sound he gets from his equipment. His main sound is from a Heritage Les Paul, a 1962 reissue Fender Telecaster, 1972 Marshall and 1970's Traynor YBA-1A heads and now, his new love, a Musicman Fuchs Mod head. To top it all off, a Multivox tape echo and his favorite cabinets, an early 1970's 2-12 Peavey or a 4-12 Marshall. He also plays bass, sings backup and contributes to the structure of all the original tunes. Charlie Fick Originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania, Bill Rosser has been part of the East Coast music scene for over 30 years. As both guitar player and lead singer in numerous bands, Bill has played in all sorts of venues from small clubs to football stadiums to CBGB's to TV's "Live From The Bubba Mac Shack". Bill has opened shows for the likes of Molly Hatchet,.38 Special, Black Oak Arkansas, and Jimmie Van Zant. As part owner of CSS Recording, Bill has written and produced commercial music for The National Guard for use in both TV and Radio advertising. In 1999 Bill teamed up with Charlie Fick to assemble a first class group of players with roots in Blues and Southern Rock. The result was Shotgun Blue. Their first CD entitled "Chucky" received significant regional airplay and continues to be requested today. Bill has been playing guitar since grade school and his collection includes a rare 1960 single pickup Teisco Del Rey, a 1969 (pre-production) Les Paul Recorder, a mid-seventies Fender Stratocaster, a Gibson SG, and an Ovation acoustic. For amplification he uses Fender, but still enjoys the warm sound of a vintage Silvertone head. Bill Rosser

4 Band Member Biographies Tony needs no introduction on the PA music scene. His unique voice identifies him as a true rock and roller. Tony's been playing the circuit since he was a teenager. Tony teamed up with Charlie way back in the 70's. Playing in numerous bands, he has created quite a following all his own. His harmonica playing compliments his vocal style and is second to none. When he's not on stage, you can usually catch him spending his leisure time riding his custom Harley. Tony Karras Jeff started playing bass in the regional PA club circuit in 1968, He has played with bands such as A.G. and The Checkmates and Union Pacific. He also played with both Charlie and Tony in a PA regional band called Homegrown. He decided to leave the music scene in 1986, but like most musicians, wasn't content to just sit on the sidelines and watch. So, in 1999 Jeff re-entered the music scene with his versatile style of playing. His main axe is an Epiphone Thunderbird, although his baby will always be a 1967 Ampeg AEB-1 scroll neck, that he has owned since Jeff Angstadt

When he is not on the road, or in the studio, Bryan loves teaching the pedal steel guitar and sharing his knowledge and talent with his students. The guy making the beat on the Pearl Session Kit is Drew Egbert. Drew's already been around the block with Bill and Charlie having played in several regional bands with both. Drew can be heard playing the drums in several popular tracks on the Shotgun Blue CD entitled 'Chucky'. Playing professionally for almost 30 years, Drew has covered the Mid-Atlantic club scene as both a guitar player and drummer doing blues, country, Buffet, classic rock, and southern rock. "I have the greatest love for music and performing. I started jamming with my step brother when I was 10 years old. That was enough adrenaline to carry me through to today." Drew's Motto: "Timing is everything". And that's why other musicians call him the human metronome. Between gigs, you'll find Drew touring the USA on his Harley. Drew Egbert
