ANDY VOLMER - Rhythm/Lead Guitar, Lead Vocals Andy began his career in the early 80’s, playing in bands around his home town of Yakima, WA. Playing the current rock of the time, along with a healthy dose of 60’s & 70’s classics, Andy cut his teeth playing in local party bands like "The Unknowns", "The Bed Spins" and "100 Proof". A stint in the Army from '83 - '87 took Andy away from playing any rock and roll, but in 1990, Andy jettisoned that Army way of life and moved to Redmond, WA and started playing in local cover bands like "The Backbeats", "The Eggmen" and "The Slackers". In 1999, Andy formed the popular Seattle cover band, "HiWatt". That band played all over the Puget Sound area for 10+ years. When they finally parted ways, he started a new band called The Rain Kings and that played for a couple of years. In 2007, Andy and some friends put together a spoof band for a Halloween party, calling themselves "Refugees", playing (and dressing) like Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. What started out as a one time thing has lasted for going on 15 years now and is Seattle’s premier tribute to the music of Tom Petty, "Petty Thief"! Along with Petty Thief, Andy has formed and played in tributes to Neil Young ("The Neil Youngs"), John Cougar Mellencamp ("American Fool"), Bryan Adams ("Reckless"), and his most recent project, a tribute to the Traveling Wilburys, "The Trembling Thrilburys". He also plays in a classic rock cover band called, "The Rumor". STEVE CRABTREE - Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals
