Meet the Band
PAYTON
LAUGHLIN - Lead Vocals, Conga's, bongo's.
Payton has appeared in movies and been singing from a
very early age. He's had professional training as a singer, and a dancer
as well competing in dance competitions. His vocal range allows him to
perform many different styles of music from the soulful sounds of the
seventies to contemporary and modern rock.
*****
NATHAN CREEL - Lead Guitar, Vocals
Nathan started playing guitar around the age of 12.
His training included professionals from Musicians Workshop in California.
His styles allow him to play the laid back sounds of Jack Johnson, to the
complicated riffs of Eric Johnson and Joe Satriani. Nathan also sings
harmonies and lead vocals.
*****
BEN
LONG - Bass, background vocals, and
lead vocals.
Ben has a long history with music. His talent goes
way beyond his abilities as a bassist. Still, his bass playing skills are
above par. We call him the "Victor Wooten" of the band.
*****
RICK CREEL - Drums (and if he sings, he's out
of the band).
The oldest member of the band grew up with music.
His mother was a music teacher. He started on piano then moved to
trumpet. He later joined a band in the 70's to play the bass. Since TGI
was formed he has been on drums. His rounded knowledge of music
allow him to be limitless in the forms of music
that he enjoys. It also helps him to keep up with the younger guys.
*****
MIKE
ZINSKIE - Bass, lead guitar, piano,
background vocals, and more....
Mikey is considered and "Honorary Member" of the
band. Mikey is a Founding Father of TGI. Due to unfortunate health issues,
Mikey was forced to move to Brunswick, GA (we always knew there was
something wrong with Mikey [just kidding bro]). None the less, we still
love to have Mikey sit in with us from time to time.
Mikey has always been the energetic one. Mike has
appeared in movies with Will Smith and Matt Damon. He is also a
professional dancer. His musical talent and creativity is one the band
always enjoys, as do others that listen to him. Mikey is the driving force
behind the band.
Mikey is much better now and our hopes are that one
day soon, "Skeeter" will be joining us once again.
