Here are your rejects.
Jon Meyer - Lead Vocals
Jon Meyer was Orphaned as a babe in the African jungle, tiny Jon Meyer, the only child of the Lord and Lady Greystoke, is rescued by a tribe of great apes. Jon grows to manhood in this savage world among the fierce anthropoids. Aided by his keen knife and innate intelligence, Jon joins the United States Marine Corps, able to face any peril and conquer all foes. Growing up in the jungle Jon always had a love and desire for music and enjoyed singing which came natural to him and would sing with fellow Marines and the indigenous to help pass the time on deployments. After leaving the USMC, Jon backpacked through Europe where he was classically trained by Italian Opera Singer Luciano Pavarotti and world renown Yodler Slim Whitman. Jon always wondered if he had any family so he subscribed to Ancestry.com which he discovered he had family in the Toledo area. Jon now resides in Bowling Green Ohio.
Mike Greer - Bass/backing Vocals
Originally from Southern Maryland - famous for its crabs and gambling - Mike inexplicably found his way to the Rust Belt in 2021, presumably after losing a bet.
An accomplished tuba player, Mike picked up the bass in a last ditch effort to be cool. A fan of all genres, Mike finds joy in playing Christmas music year-round and also driving aimlessly through cornfields, sometimes at the same time. Mike would give his first born to be Mariah Carey's bass player. When not on stage, he enjoys explaining why bass players are important and insisting that, technically, the tuba is a low-key power move in music.
Dan Work - Guitar/Backing Vocals
​
“Deacon Dan” as we call him is a man of few words and lets his playing speak for him. Dan recently fell out of the stratosphere and landed a spot with us rejects after retiring from the Air Force after single-handedly defeating the Decepticons. He’s now using his powers for music dishing out tasty licks and effects.

Former student of Jeff Kollman and Chuck Stohl, Mike grew up playing heavy metal and hair metal, but over the years has broaden his style with blues, classic rock, country, and reggae.
