David Brennan

Known as the “Professor,” David’s path in music is a bit different from most. While being a guitar hobbyist in his college days, he let his guitar get dusty while pursuing a Ph.D., a career in academia, and parenthood. As his children grew, he again picked up the guitar and studied music in earnest. He is a multi-year student and mentor at the Quarter Bend Guitar studio. The studio bestowed multiple accolades on him including Performer of the Year multiple times. He honed his performance skills at local open mics, street corners, moving vehicles, recitals, and blues and rock shows. He also performs every Sunday with the praise band, Grace Notes. 

Pat Karkotsky

Patrick is a self-taught drummer whose love of music began 45 years ago with his mom’s pots and pans. His musical influences are Keith Moon, John Bonham and Neil Peart. These drumming icons shaped his style of drumming which began in the Atlanta area with the Athens, Ga based band called Blind Date, focusing on 80s rock music. Over the years he has developed his love of music in all genres including Christian music, classic rock, metal, reggae, surf rock, blues and of course Southern Rock. Most recently he was with local Lancaster bands Last Stand, Revival 1.3, and Timeless. Music is such an important part of his life and while he loves all music, he will always say – Long Live Rock and Roll!

Chris Rowles

From an early age Chris started listening to and absorbing music, listening to his older brothers' albums, he fell in love with Led Zepplin, Jefferson Airplane, and rock of the late 60s and 70s. He was hooked. If you start talking to Chris about rock music, be prepared for a lengthy conversation. He is a 20-year navy Veteran and has travelled the world. Name a band and he has probably seen them live. His love of rock and roll has grown exponentially over the years through grade school, high school, college and his 20 years in the navy, he calls himself and aging headbanger. He also developed a severe case of tinnitus, but hey it's rock and roll. In the past 4 years he started guitar lessons and has picked up the bass. Playing has come natural to him via his background in music and his love of Rock and Roll. He also performs every Sunday with the praise band, Grace Notes. He shares lead vocals and background vocals with his Bass guitar duties in Something Else. He is a co-founder of the band as well. One of his Rock and Roll heroes, Lemmy sez: "If you think your too old to rock and roll then you are."
