Droppin Eaves

High energy rock cover music from the 70's to today.

Greg Abrams - Lead Guitar
Greg's interests range from the heaviest metal and punk to blues, jazz, techno, classical, and "world" music. A music geek since early childhood, he picked up his first guitar in 1986 and kicked things off by learning Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" and "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)". From there it was all downhill into the dark and beautiful world of rock, metal and punk, with AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, The Misfits, Bad Religion, and numerous others charting his path of development as a musician. He shared the stage with Tracy and Jeff in Sanctoria and assisted with the band’s songwriting, drawing on past personal experience for his subject matter. He too recently worked on the project Grim Drifter.

Jeff Rimar - Drums
Jeff has over twenty years of experience behind the drums. Starting off with a mish-mash of drums and cymbals cobbled together from various kits, he developed an aggressive and yet controlled style born out of the milieu of late 80s and early 90s speed and death metal. The influences of Slayer, Anthrax, and Metallica are immediately apparent to the listener, carried along on a wave of rapid-fire double bass. But his playing is much more than mere onslaught, with nuance changes and an overall sense of timing that speaks to his natural feel for rhythm. Jeff also worked on Grim Drifter.

Tracy Loveday - Rhythm Guitar/Backing Vocals
Tracy has been playing the guitar for the past twenty five years. He started his musical journey by learning "Smoke on the Water" and "Hall of the Mountain King". His influences are Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, The Misfits, and Slayer, to name a few. He had some local success in the 90’s with metal acts Sanctoria and Sub Zero, using the political issues of the times for his writing palette. In 2009-10 he worked on the project Grim Drifter.

Russ Bertolino - Bass/Backing Vocals
