MEET THE BAND...
Gail Swanson - Vocals, Flute, Guitar
Classically trained, rock inspired, Gail has lived on Maui for 15 years. She's fortunate to have found her niche as the only screamin, rockin, electric flute flingin singer/songwriter in Hawaii. For full bio, go here.
Jerry Byers -
Bass Guitar
A long time Maui resident, Jerry has played with numerous Maui bands, most recently a seven year stint with the band, The Missionaries. A native of New Jersey, Jerry also played in countless bands in the N.Y.C. area before coming to his senses, and moved to Maui where he feels blessed to call home. Jerry currently plays with the Voodoo Suns and is Gail's best friend. :)
Ricky
Bodinus - Drums/Vocals
Ricky Bodinus is Maui's premier drummer. (HE won't tell you that) His dedication to his art is impressive, his versatility enables him to perform any style but his favorite is jazz-fusion. Born in California, raised in Hawaii, Ricky reluctantly spent two of his high school years back in California where he began playing drums as a means of venting his frustration.
Margaret
Rainsford - Keyboards/Vocals
Margaret is known for her onstage energy and astounding keyboard solos. She also sings backup vocals and has played with many great musicians in her career. Originally from California, she now lives on Maui.
It breaks my heart to tell you that on 6/26/04, Margaret passed away on the island of Lanai. She was a good friend and wonderful soul and her music will play forever in my memory.
