Jared Ursin is our vocalist, and let us tell you its no easy task to be the vocalist in a cover band. Its Jared's job to sound like any of the best rock and roll singers of all time we ask him to and he does one heck of a job from James Hetfield's gravel to Geddy Lee's harmonic high's Jared can pull it off, and pull it off GOOD.
The sound of Paul's solos causes mere mortal guitarists to stop plucking Smoke on the Water or two seconds of Freebird and gaze in absolute awe at pure speed, technical ability and awesome musicianship. With over 13 years of experience Paul can blow away even the most seasoned of guitarists. There is no cover song that he can't play and puts the limit of HydroWizard's playlist at infinity.
Kyle brings straight unadulterated energy and a jacked-up attitude to being allowed to be the fourth member of HydroWizard, handling any bass duty thrown at him. Diversity of playing styles, difficulty and performing is what he thrives off of. Ask any bassist, 32nd notes finger-style at ANY tempo is no easy task. Ask any guitarist or bassist, 32nd notes 4-fingered tapping just doesn't happen but when Kyle's at the reigns watch out, because that's just in a day's play.
Myles is the driving force behind all that is HydroWizard. His rock-steady rocking never falters, never slows down, never speeds up, until its solo time... then the 200 BPM (beats per minute) double bass drum machine gun madness makes the air raid sirens go off and the women and children run in fear. Take just one glance at Myles during a performance and you'll be hooked, all the time asking yourself just how does he do it. The rest of HydroWizard asks themselves that every time.
