Dan Strickland (Wolfgang/Hot Karl/Alter Ego)
Aaron Martinez (Tempest, Finster, Zelda-Bender Band)-------------
This talented trio originally formed in 2002 has been packing local night spots throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan with their high energy live show. MAS FiNA performs a wide variety of hot new rock, contemporary R&B, classic dance tunes, and even country. But what MAS FiNA may be MOST remembered for are their re-makes of "Old School" rap tunes like "Baby Got Back", "Bust a Move", "Tricky", "Funky Cold Medina" and more, all brought up to date in "MAS FiNA" style.
Utilizing state of the art sampling technology, MAS FiNA maintains a technical edge that enables them to virtually duplicate the sounds of the artists that they cover. Plus, because MAS FiNA uses NO instrument amps or monitors on stage, MAS FiNA can perform their show at an appropriate volume in virtually ANY room.
On stage, all MAS FiNA sets run non stop, with virtually no down time or dead air between songs. Plus, as a longtime personality on Toledo's WIOT radio, Sid keeps the crowd entertained in between groups of songs.
Because all 3 members of MAS FiNA have been featured as lead singers in previous bands, lead vocals are divided equally between all 3 members. Each member takes on the songs best suited for their individual voice. This always keeps the MAS FiNA sound fresh, As well as shifting the bands focal point. Plus MAS FiNA members are always moving and working to keep the attention of, and entertain the crowd.
