Rachel started singing in the second grade. She played guitar and sang solo at her church. She sang for weddings, took on lead rolls in school and high school musical plays, auditioned for high school chorus, often winning at vocal events. Then started a rock band in high school, influenced by Freddy Mercury, Pat Benatar, the Cult and more. 

She privately studied at the Hingham Conservatory of Music, under her vocal professor for 6 years. She also was taught how to sing classical music in different languages. 

Still and always favoring rock n roll, Rachel joined her first gigging band when she was 17. She was the lead vocals with Sick Phyllis in early 1990’s. She then joined Restless Breed from Taunton and later Euphoria, where she performed with Uncle Spiny’s bass player Dean. Managed by Carr Productions RI, where he selected members from different bands and put us together. They played from the Cape to Connecticut under the band name the Pearl Divers. 

When life calmed down she became a mom and a registered nurse. After a long 28 year hiatus, she was found on Facebook by her old friend Dean who invited her to sing with Uncle Spiny. 

John began his music career playing the clarinet for 7 years in early grade school, taking private lessons, becoming lead first section first chair in junior high orchestra and soon performing Mozart and Bach musical pieces in a few "big time" small town music recitals. John studied 2 years of music theory courses in high school, but pretty much self-trained on the six string, learned to play the guitar mostly "by ear" by listening to classic vinyl records and cassette tapes, although he briefly studied one year of classical guitar lessons to improve his fingerpicking which he incorporates into his style today. 

John joined his first band Final Warning in 1985 when he was in the 10th grade. Other projects in high school and college include: Argos, Nightforce and Vital Signs. He retired in the early 1990s from the rock music scene after graduating college and getting married. 

In 2009 John came back out of retirement performing in cover and tribute bands again after a long 17-year hiatus raising a family of four young kids, and first performed in Caress of Steel City (Rush Tribute), Any Way You Want It (Journey Tribute). He moved back to New England in 2011 and has since played in various bands such as Getaway, Loaded Dice, One Night Love Affair, Keri & The Shugga Daddies, Crash & Burn, Sunset Strip and Sapphire Crush. 

His biggest influences on guitar include Ritchie Blackmore, Steve Howe, Eddie Van Halen, Rik Emmett, Alex Lifeson, Gary Moore and John Sykes.

Dean has been involved with numerous bands in the New England circuit  and other various music recording projects since 1973.

Abracax, Warning, M’Youzik, Pyramid, Billy and The Kids, Flashback, Bad Dog, Perfect World, Pets on Prozac, Big Dog, Rockahol, Solid Mental Grace and Euphoria and and Mystic Vibe. Dean is currently performing with Uncle Spiny, The Dane Street Project, and King Mojo.

Dean's influences include Chris Squire, John Entwistle, Gary Thain and Tony Levin. 

Norm has been playing on the circuit since 1979. He has performed in many classic rock bands thru the 80's, 90's, & 2000's. Norm usually plays a multi tiered keyboard set up. He loves the Moog/ Hammond organ sounds and enjoys complex 70s/80s-era keyboard arrangements.

Jeff had been watching the drummers at the school dances, and he began to understand what the popular drummers that he listened to were doing, so he wanted to learn how to play. His cousin tried to teach him because his dad wouldn’t buy him a set unless he knew how to play, but he couldn’t grasp the concept. Jeff still wanted drums, so he told his dad that he knew how to play, but he was unable to convince him that he could play. The lie began to grow as he stated telling friends, teachers, other cousins and everybody he met, that he played drums.

So after three years of telling everyone that he knew how to play, Jeff finally put his foot in his mouth and had to prove it. During February of 1974, he told a friend, who he didn’t know played guitar that he played. His friend suggested that they start a band, so Jeff agreed. They put together a list of songs and decided to have their first practice in two weeks. The next day he begged his cousin to borrow his drum kit. Then he begged his mom to drive him over to get it. He began by teaching himself what his cousin tried to teach him, and actually made good progress on the first day.

Then for the next two weeks, Jeff went straight home from school every day, stopped hanging out with his friends and stopped doing his homework to spend as much time on the drums as he possibly could. So after grasping to concept of playing a drum beat and doing drum fills, which his cousin tried to teach him, he began learning every song on that list.

In the meantime, Jeff was attending Keefe Tech, a vocational high school in Framingham, where he began seeking other musicians to complete the band. He met a keyboard player, who knew a guitarist and a bass player. And as luck would have it, they were looking for a new drummer, because the guy they had been jamming with wasn’t working out. They already knew some of the songs and agreed to learn the rest and to come to the first practice.

Now here’s Jeff, in his mom’s basement with three total strangers from another town, and his friend never showed up. After playing the list of songs, they took a break to hang out and talk. Then they asked Jeff if he’d be interested in replacing their drummer. They told Jeff that he we really good for someone who has been playing for three years, because that’s what he had told them. They also told him that he was better than their drummer who had been playing for five years. So Jeff said “Yeah, but first I have to come clean with you. I’ve only been playing for two weeks”. They refused to believe it until they asked his mom. She confirmed it. Within two years Jeff was playing the original circuit in Boston with bands such as: The Outrage, Fighter, Toys, Heartless and, Lorelei, and filled in for Thundertrain. He was playing shows opening for recording acts such as: The Atlantics, Ready Teddy, Thundertrain, John Butcher Axis, Oak, Balloon, Willie Loco Alexander, Duke and the Drivers and The Ramones.

Frustration began setting in for Jeff as it seemed like he was going nowhere and not having much fun anymore. He had become extremely fascinated by Neil Peart of Rush, and had already begun modeling his drum kit after Neil’s. He also acquired and learned how to play chromatic percussion instruments such as: orchestra bells, tubular bells, crotales and many others. He had played a few Rush songs in the classic rock band: Island, but he wanted to play more than just a few, so he put together the Rush tribute band: Moving Pictures. They almost instantly became a national act. And for Jeff, playing music became fun again.

From there He went on to impersonate Peter Criss and performed live filling in with the KISS tribute bands: Hotter Than Hell, Cold Gin, Strutter, KISS &Tell, and for five years with Destroyer as a full time member. Jeff also impersonated Alice Cooper, played drums for the Scorpions tribute: Animal Magnetism. In between all this he got back into doing originals with High Gear and Thundertrain on their reunion tours, and doing session work at Bob Cat Recording Studio.

Along the way Jeff also learned how to play bass and joined the top forty band: Anger Management and filled in for them on drums as well. He also played bass for the Led Zeppelin tribute band: Out On The Tiles. And more recently played drums at a few Christian Churches, one of which he was the band leader. And returning to his roots, Jeff played drums with classic rock bands: Reloaded, and currently with Uncle Spiny. Jeff still maintains a desire to play like Neil Peart, and he’s involved with a newly forming Rush tribute band, so there’s more to come. And now instead of telling people that he plays drums, he says: “I’m not really a drummer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.”
