Shana Sind - Vocals
Shana is the lead vocalist in the band. As a teen, Shana was part of a female rock band in Texas with her best friends where she learned bass guitar and keyboard, leading the way to performing their first song, “I Love Rock and Roll” by Joan Jett. Those free-spirited days and passion for music never made it past the garage door, unfortunately. In high school, this typical 80’s rocker girl played guitar, and eventually joined the school choir and discovered her soprano vocal ability. But the posters of Whitesnake, Dokken, and Tesla adorned her bedroom wall and influenced her love for music even more.
Onto later years, she honed her vocal talent, singing back-up vocals for various bands. In 2012 she had a first date with her husband where the two of them performed karaoke that evening. To this day, her husband says he fell in love with her the moment he heard her voice.
In 2016 Shana’s singing caught the ears of a national country music show director. He encouraged her to “give it a shot”, as they were looking for a singer. Shana nearly passed up the opportunity as her influence was not country music, though she believed it wouldn’t hurt to audition.
Subsequently, Shana quickly became very involved in a theater show for over 4 years. She highlighted featured female artists of classic country music and captured the audience with her ability to phrase her voice, sounding much like the original artists.
Shana eventually recorded a CD, created her own local country band, Red Country and sang with several other bands as a guest vocalist. The people she met in the music industry had labeled her a country singer due to her current venues and never knew she could sing rock.
Today, she revisits those memories of her youth and the music she most enjoys with the idea that the audience will ‘journey’ back in time with her. Shana’s voice-phrasing is similar to Heart, Pink, and Lady Gaga and she has been approached often on how powerful her voice is. When you see her perform, you will observe how she embraces the music to its core. Shana currently resides in Peoria, AZ with her husband and 3 dogs.
Pete Wrenn - Percussion, Vocals
Pete is the drummer. Pete was born in Boston and spent most of his life growing up near San Francisco.
He took up drums at the age of 13 after being convinced by his cousin who started playing a year before him. He promptly started taking lessons from decorated drummer John Mader, who instilled his love of classic rock.
Throughout high school, Pete played in a 3-piece band called The Catch playing a combination of originals and covers.
After moving to Arizona, he volunteered occasionally at Low Key Piano Bar on Mill Ave. Pete brings a high-energy playing style, drawing inspiration from greats like Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, Mitch Mitchell, and John Bonham.
Christian Adragna – Lead Guitar, Vocals
Christian is the lead guitarist. In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control; even over his own will.
Not much is known of his origins, but it is long foretold in ancient scrolls that one day, a guitarist would arise to defeat the forces of evil that rule over this realm. It is said that Christian grew up in Kingman, Arizona and later attended the University of Arizona until 2017 and then moving to Phoenix. Guitar has always been a part of his life.
“I am not a normal humans. I ams the guitar mades flesh and bone, through the powers of rock.”
