Band Members

David (Shameless Dave) Bryan

Guitar

A singer, songwriter, guitar player. Walks on the stage to take ownership and plays music for the sake of music. Music is life and life is a lot of fun! Shameless began his musical career in the small town of Norwood in Warren County, Georgia. Growing up among multiple influences, he brings a mix of rock, blues, soul and funk to the table. Shameless doesn't believe in playing it safe, letting it all loose when he hits the stage. "It's a short life and we gotta get all the good music in we can!"

Pat McNamara

Keyboards

A veteran of the road and a consummate musician, Pat plays his vintage Hammond B3 organ like he's driving his truck, hard, fast but with precision. With heavy influences from Greg Allman and the Macon/Muscle Shoals sound, Pat is a thrill to watch and fills the Miracle Whips music with a richness and depth that can only be found in the best of Southern Blues.

Stan Kee

Bass

Stan the man! Solid bass lines filling a funky foundation. Coming from a long line of rock and blues, Stanley fills the position with experience and authority. Findin' the groove......

    

Richard Turner

Drums

Richard is the funky meter man. Teaming securely with Stan the man's bass, he lays it down and doesn't let up. Another veteran of many road gigs, his love of the music shines through.

Mike Folk

Blues Harp/Conga

Mike pulls double duty, playing sweet harp on the blues numbers and providing an exotic flair on the congas to funk things up. Watch out, he's going to explode with fun!
