currently Bri Smith plays guitar and keyboards and sings, and Jes Seamans plays bass and sings, and Joe Rand plays drums and glock and is amazing. for a long time we had a really great drummer named Karl Rotto and for a less long but equally great time Allison Halter played keyboards and sang. making numerous appearances as "the ghost" was Joe Riepenhoff and Joe Gaskill played drums for a few shows.
