Chris is DC born and bred, a Dead Head, a Metal Head, and a Whiskey aficionado. His early influences include DC Punk and Heavy metal. Chris left home to follow the Dead at 17 and never looked back, and while Colorado has been his home for 10 years, he still love his Washington Capitals!

Max Dale

Multi instrumentalist and Lowest of Ends, Max is midwest born and raised by wolves. A latent Viking, Punk Provocateur and member of multitudinous Mile High musical orchestras, Max was kicked in the head early in life by Chuck Berry.

Gary “Hollywood” Howard

Drums, Vocals

Born to a drummer in the mid 70's, about 40 miles east of Muscle Shoals, AL, Gary has been on the cover of multiple Colorado music publications, including Scene and Westword. Gary has opened for and played with multitudes of professional touring musicians including the likes of Merl Saunders & Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band), Vince Welnic (The Grateful Dead), Derek Trucks and Tod Smalie (Derek Trucks band), Burnie Worell from Parliament and The Talking Heads. Gary’s also appeared in videos with the Michael Hornbuckle band — Angel, and too many others to name. Having played the drums for over 40 years, Gary’s done multiple nationwide tours.

Mark “Doc” Heinson

Guitar, Vocals

Some people call him "doc" but it's more in the Bugs Bunny "what's up doc" way. Mark hails from Kansas City, but is so very glad to be in Colorado. Having played guitar for most of his life, Mark always wanted to play music. He’s finally at the stage of his life where he can do so. Though he’s been in a few bands, Mark enjoys this band the most.

David Olimpio

Keyboards

David Olimpio writes, plays music, takes photos of hydrants, trades, and communes with dogs. Before moving to Denver, he lived in every city in the NFC East. He is the author of This Is Not a Confession (Awst Press, 2016), which is entirely a confession. As a teenager, he considered becoming a Presbyterian minister before piano playing corrupted his soul. He is a Wilco fan and, as such, always trying to break your heart.
