Pepper Drive - Named for the street in Tallahassee where the annual Tune-up music festival was held in the late 70’s and early 80’s that often featured CrossCutsaw, and other North Florida bands, Pepper drive is a hard-driving bluesy rock band that mixes elements of funk, gospel and soul. Pepper Drive is a favorite for those craving the filthy sound of American music turned up just a little too loud.

Clyde "Caitlyn's dad" Ramsey (vocals, harmonica, and B3) Clyde grew up in Tallahassee, very much a part of the North Florida music scene. He is the protégé of his father, Pat Ramsey, who is regarded by many as of one of the greatest harmonica players/vocalists of his time. Clyde picked up the harmonica at 18 years old, he started playing organ and piano after realizing the limitations of a pocket-sized diatonic instrument, and is now a serious triple threat. Clyde has been lucky enough to sit in with some of the finest musicians in the world (no name dropping – No) and is known by those who’ve heard him as one of the most talented young musicians around .

Neal "great balls of fire" Goree (guitar) Neal is quickly becoming recognized as one of the most gifted slide guitar players to arrive on the scene in recent memory. At the ripe old age of 20, Neal has captured the essence and sound of guitar heroes of the past such as Duane Allman, Johnny Winter and Jimmy Hendrix. He is one of the hardest working guitar players, and it shows with every fiery bomb of pepper-hot lead that he drops.

Kyle “K ICE” Chervanik (bass) Kyle has been the busiest and most coveted young bass player in the Tallahassee area since picking his axe at fourteen years old. Now a veteran of the local blues and rock scene, he’s set his sites on launching Pepper Drive into the national spotlight.

JJ "snazy" Dressler (drums) JJ is a multi-instrumentalist that chooses to play drums only because, as they say, drummers get all the ladies.

JJ is also an acomplished producer, with a bright future in the music industry.
