Mike Neville, Rhythm Guitar
Though his childhood dreams ranged from becoming an astronaut to a rock star, it wasn't until he met Julia and raised a family that music became a reality. He started playing the guitar a little later than many kids, at the age of 16, when he first touched an acoustic guitar that his mom had bought at a yard sale. He loved the sounds the strings would make, even though back then he couldn't strum an "F" chord to save his life. His passion for music and skills grew, leading him to fulfill his dream of playing and singing professionally. Mike expresses deep gratitude for the blessings in his life and acknowledges the unwavering support of his wife and family, who have helped make his dream come true. He thanks God for the many blessings he has received over the years and cherishes the opportunity to inspire others through music.

Giovanni Bradshaw, aka (Gio), Lead Guitar
Giovanni Bradshaw(Gio) is a professional guitarist/multi-instrumentalist born in Sharon, Pennsylvania. Growing up in a family of 6 musicians, he has been playing music since day one. Gio played his first show at 11 and has spent his fair share of time in many music industries, from musical theatre productions to warped tour before the age of 18. Throughout the year when Gio isn’t on the road with Julia, he spends his time playing a variety of music, from blues to 80s rock with a mirage of different musicians. Gio’s passionate about music, animals, and spends a lot of time cooking.

Lee Payton, Drummer

Flint Vasher, Bassist
I was born on a Bayou under the northern lights of the Michigan thumbprint. I migrated to Texas as an adolescent to avoid poverty and to get closer to the sun. I learned music from the hymnals and began on piano at a young age. As a young teen I began playing guitar and bass guitar. My avid passion for playing live music began at 18 and continues today. I have played in nearly every type of genre band doing originals and covers, having toured regionally in Texas and Ohio I am also credited on nearly a dozen studio albums as writer, cowriter, or supported musician. My interests and hobbies include building restoration, woodworking, golf, and deep sea fishing.
