Band Members
Alex Wolfe – Lead Guitarist
I started playing when I was about thirteen years old, I am Twenty now (total of seven years playing). I’ve been surrounded by music all of my life, going to concerts since before I could walk. My musical journey started at the age of 12 when I learned to play drums. One day I picked up my dad’s old guitar and I never put it down. I have always had a great interest in the history of music, especially the blues. My greatest musical influences include Robert Cray, Allman Brothers, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, and Toy Caldwell, just to name a few. I have been a part of projects in many different styles of music including R&B, Jazz, Country, and Rock.
Dan Gonzalez – Bass
My name is Daniel Gonzalez, and here’s a little bit about myself.
Music has always been a part of my family. My grandpa directed choir, sang, played saxophone and clarinet, my mom sang in the choir and played some clarinet as well, then there’s me! I first played clarinet then moved onto acoustic guitar, then quickly moved onto bass when I heard this amazing bass player from my old church. I knew bass was for me from that point on. I started playing at my church in the student ministry where I was able to grow as a musician and develop my skills playing with others. I moved up to the main congregation and played with some phenomenal musicians, that’s where I truly learned the role of a bass player and how to play in a bigger, more professional band setting. I also started to play with other people and bands outside of the church setting, that definitely took me out of my comfort zone, but I’ve learned a lot about different genres and techniques to further my skillset. It showed me how much fun playing music with others really is.
Some of my biggest influences are Marcus Miller, Jaco Pastorius, Bruno Mars, Twenty-One Pilots, and Animals as Leaders. From jazz fusion, funk, and progressive metal pushing the boundaries of music, to modern pop, gospel, and alternative giving me a deeper connection to the songs and lyrics. Listening to all these great artists inspired me to also pick up guitar, I’m not the best at it but I love it.
I’ve been so blessed to have many great teachers and musicians alongside me throughout my musical journey, and more importantly I thank God for giving me the talent and skill to play, all the glory goes to Him!
Justin Robinson – Drums
My name is Justin Robinson and I’m a professional drummer who specializes in country, rap, rock, R&B and soul genres of music. I started playing the drums at 12 and ever since I’ve been playing at venues and places all around Charlotte. My first performance was at a winery called Petty Thieves in downtown Charlotte and ever since then I’ve played at venues from Blumenthal Theater to Symphony Park. It all started one Christmas when my dad got me a drum set and after that I fell in love. I’ve been to camps, concerts, gigs, ever since then and have learned a lot but what always stuck with me is that no matter what you’re doing always find the fun in the journey. I’ve met a lot of great people in only my 6 years of playing, it’s not about where you end up, it’s about the journey you take to get there.
