musical wall together. On lead guitar, Micah Wagner makes the message ring through with huge
blues/rock infused guitar solos. William Fix Brown II lays down the low end on bass guitar with his solid
groove and straight forward skill. And finally, Mike Woods on drums is always displaying his explosive,
yet refined, drumming style.
