Spike and The Impalers

Spike O'Neill fronts the band; Bob Rivers positions himself ..boards. Rounding out the talent are veteran rockers Jeff Kathan on drums, Lynn Sorensen on bass guitar, and Joe Shikany taking on lead and rhythm guitar (all of the Paul Rodgers Band), and Dudley Taft on lead and rhythm guitar (formerly of Sweetwater and Second Coming). A truly homegrown workingman band at heart. When the band first started out, our band feature Mark Russell (guitar) and our biggest crowd pleaser, 19 year old guitar phenomenon Ian Crawford, who is currently touring with the band The Cab. With Ian now gone out on tour, we put out an all-out search for the latest and greatest "young stud" to replicate the excitement and youthful talent that Ian Crawford brought to our group. At our May 31st show at the Emerald Queen Casino, we gave our audience the opportunity to pick who they wanted to be the next young stud in our group, and they unanimously picked 20 year old Aaron Balsley (now our newest member).
