Mike Abendschein, from Leesburg, FL. Lead acoustic guitar. Strums strums strums… finger picking? That's for crazy people like Andy Mckee! Mike also plays all the instruments no one else wants to like the mystical and ever eluding musical whoopee coushin. Mike makes the music you can sort of listen to and drops the harmony vocals. Mike supplies the one verse wonder. You don't know what your getting but the majesty of his 6'11 pear shaped frame makes you always come back for more! … but you really don't know why….
Will Pigg, from Central Florida, is a towering 5'4 juggernaut and lead vocals of A+P. His monotone style takes Mike's "one verse wonder" skill, fills in the rest of the lyrics and makes the music quasi-listenable… w/o Will and his miniscule machismo you wouldn't like it…
Roger Reese, lives in San Fransisco, CA, and is the A+P west coast biiiatch. His drumming is beastly but A+P had no fans except Roger and he really wanted to drum. A+P regrets signing him to a life long contract to be percussions but he is shorter than Mike and taller than Will so he kinda filled in the blanks in more ways than one. Roger makes you wanna tap your foot but that's… about… it….
Jason Tyre, a Guitarist from Leesburg, FL, and Mike have been friends for years. They have worked together on numerous projects. Jason has worked with many other musicians in the Central Florida area and has played shows from Key West to Tampa to Savanah GA for years. Jason stops in from time to time to add a track or two to the mix.
Wally Harper, a rising guitarist from Orlando, FL is also a regular in A+P Music. He has a style that compliments Mikes writing and adds a unique texture to the mix.

A+P started 10 years ago when Mike and Will met in a college class. At first, the duo did not get along too well. But after being forced to work together, the two discovered that they both had talents that complemented each other. So after receiving stellar grades that year, they decided to keep working together. What was once a good-natured business partnership, led to a growing and lasting friendship. Will and Mike started writing music together almost immediately. Creating such tunes as "Deserve" and "Crowded" establishing their sound. After a few years of writing together, they took a break to start families. Now both proud parents, the duo have renewed their drive to create music again. This new drive produced songs like "Coffee Shop" and "Matter" and helped pave the way to what they are today.
Music, bottom line, it's music. Its all about the good times!! KEEP LUVIN!

Boy Mike, you posted my worst drum take on DMB's #41 song. My other versions were much better. I know you're attached to it... Let it go man! Let it go... I will re-record that one if you wanted a polished up version to post, that was my demo of a demo! (a.k.a. practice) Love ya man (and little man Oink) Rog
Ok so you were right about my highs. i have since even gotten better than my previous. (Which is not hard) I have some new stuff to tell you so i'l probably call you today. Sorry i no call more often, but you know I love you mang!
Don't forget to take your Tagworld link off this page Mike. I think I will kill my profile too! Tag sucks. There's no action there anymore, like everyone turned into zombies! ewe! Who's that killer drummer you have playing? Sounds like the same guy from that other band with the chimps... Humanzee, yeah, that's it! later AbendOinks. West Coast Bihatch - Rog
Yo Mikey! (and Stubby) Keep this version of #41... I like it better than my new drum mix. This version compliments your playing and vocal work better than my new drum track. Props on the vocals Stretch and Stubs. Chimp #3 - from the "other" band.
