The members of the band are:
Robie Godfrey, Vocals
Robie was born and raised in Lynchburg, Virginia. He graduated from
Brookville High School then went on to Randolph Macon College where he
played football and graduated with a Business Economics degree. Shortly

Army.
Robie is a fan of many types of music, however, he’s been most influenced by
rock n roll. While stationed in Wonju, Korea, Robie joined his first band.
Even though in previous bands he performed mostly country music he is most
moved and gets the best crowd response with Rock n’ Roll. “I enjoy and
consider it a privilege to entertain a crowd and make them forget the world
while I'm on stage.”
Robie uses a Telex microphone while performing. He also plays Schecter
guitars through a Marshal amp.
