Steve Russell
Lead Guitar/Vocals
Steve Russell grew up in the small town of Essex Center, Vermont and joined the Navy at age 17. He always had a passion for music, but did not start playing guitar until the mid-1980's. His Navy career of 30 years kept him from really pursuing the instrument and it wasn't until the late 1990's when he got serious about playing. He formed a band called Whiskey Ridge and the rest is history. Steve moved to Virginia in 2018 for a job change and is now ready to crank things up. Steve believes music should be fun and entertaining , but most important, it should move people and help them forget life's troubles, if only for a moment. "When Words Fail, Music Speaks"

Dan McFarland
Keyboards
Dan McFarland grew up in Williamstown, a small town in Western Mass, and moved to Hampton, VA in 1995. He started playing keyboards in 1969 and in 1974 he replaced the 2nd guitar player in the band "Winds of Change" and music took on a new feel and direction. The band quickly became popular and toured nationally for many years. He later joined the band "Maiah" until stepping away shortly after his daughter was born in 1984. The love of music never left him and now Dan is back with a vengeance. He loves when all members of the band "click" to produce an energetic and powerful sound that draws and captivates a crowd.

Greg Burroughs
Bass Guitar
Greg Burroughs was born in Texas into a restaurant family and soon moved a "tiny bit north" when his father decided to open his own restaurant in the middle of Oklahoma. He had two constants in his life, food and music, and found his way to the bass guitar in junior high. In 1988, Greg moved to Virginia Beach where he pursued both food, as a chef and Culinary Instructor, and music as part of a local "garage band" finding themselves playing at Webster Hall in New York City. Greg's bass work is the pulse of the band and is the secret sauce that pulls all the band flavors together into one delicious musical experience.
