He is a veteran drummer who has opened for such bands as Foghat, The Outlaws, Ian Moore, Chris Duarte, Gary Richrath (REO Speedwagon), Omar & the Howlers, WC Clark, Bugs Henderson, Junior Medlow, Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad), Arc Angels, Doyle Bramhall, Double Trouble, and Classic Rock All Stars (Dennis Noda, Jerry Corbetta--Sugarloaf, Pete Rivera--Rare Earth, and Mike Pinera--Blues Image, Iron Butterfly, and Alice Cooper). Cecil also currently plays with the worship band at The Mission.
Stan Chapman plays bass guitar and sings vocal backups. During the ‘70’s, Stan toured the southwestern United States with Uncle Remus and Woodrose, popular regional bands of the time. Most recently, Stan uses his talent to lead worship, playing at both Beltway Park Baptist Church and First Christian Church, as well as events for the Walk to Emmaus Community.
David Laurence plays guitar and shares lead vocals. He has performed with rock and roll, country, and contemporary Christian bands and once opened for notable Grammy Award-winning country artist Steve Wariner.

He has also been a member on several music teams for Walk to Emmaus events. For the past five years, Chris has played keyboards at The Mission. He has a passion for old organs and keyboards, like the Hammond B3 and Fender Rhodes, which are an important part of the music CounterClockwise performs.
