Band Member Biographies
Though born and raised in Reading, PA, Charlie's roots reach deep into
Orange, VA. This flavor shows in his ability to make his guitar sing or cry,
whether it's gut-wrenching, string bending blues to melodic southern rock.
Charlie thrives on playing off of other players in the band, and trailing leads
behind lead singers. Charlie played bass guitar when he was young, but
switched to lead guitar in 1975, playing lead for the first time. He was forced
on the job after only three weeks of practice. That band lasted for 8 years.
There were numerous bands in between until teaming up with lead singer Bill
Rosser in 1999 and the music flowed, leaving listeners calling in for more on a
Harrisburg, PA station. Their first CD, entitled "Chucky", shared airwaves
with numerous top-notch local bands. 5 of the 8 tunes had phones ringing off
the hook, and they are still being played to this date.
Charlie also thrives on the sound he gets from his equipment. His main sound
is from a Heritage Les Paul, a 1962 reissue Fender Telecaster, 1972 Marshall
and 1970's Traynor YBA-1A heads and now, his new love, a Musicman Fuchs
Mod head. To top it all off, a Multivox tape echo and his favorite cabinets, an
early 1970's 2-12 Peavey or a 4-12 Marshall. He also plays bass, sings backup
and contributes to the structure of all the original tunes.
Charlie Fick
Originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania, Bill Rosser has been part of the
East Coast music scene for over 30 years. As both guitar player and lead
singer in numerous bands, Bill has played in all sorts of venues from small
clubs to football stadiums to CBGB's to TV's "Live From The Bubba Mac
Shack". Bill has opened shows for the likes of Molly Hatchet, .38 Special,
Black Oak Arkansas, and Jimmie Van Zant.
As part owner of CSS Recording, Bill has written and produced commercial
music for The National Guard for use in both TV and Radio advertising. In
1999 Bill teamed up with Charlie Fick to assemble a first class group of
players with roots in Blues and Southern Rock. The result was Shotgun Blue.
Their first CD entitled "Chucky" received significant regional airplay and
continues to be requested today.
Bill has been playing guitar since grade school and his collection includes a
rare 1960 single pickup Teisco Del Rey, a 1969 (pre-production) Les Paul
Recorder, a mid-seventies Fender Stratocaster, a Gibson SG, and an Ovation
acoustic. For amplification he uses Fender, but still enjoys the warm sound of
a vintage Silvertone head.

Tony needs no introduction on the PA music scene. His unique voice
identifies him as a true rock and roller. Tony's been playing the circuit since
he was a teenager.
Tony teamed up with Charlie way back in the 70's. Playing in numerous
bands, he has created quite a following all his own. His harmonica playing
compliments his vocal style and is second to none.
When he's not on stage, you can usually catch him spending his leisure time
riding his custom Harley.
Tony Karras
Jeff started playing bass in the regional PA club circuit in 1968, He has played
with bands such as A.G. and The Checkmates and Union Pacific. He also
played with both Charlie and Tony in a PA regional band called Homegrown.
He decided to leave the music scene in 1986, but like most musicians, wasn't
content to just sit on the sidelines and watch. So, in 1999 Jeff re-entered the
music scene with his versatile style of playing.
His main axe is an Epiphone Thunderbird, although his baby will always be a
1967 Ampeg AEB-1 scroll neck, that he has owned since 1969.

Musician Bryan Hall first fell in love with the unique sound of the pedal steel
guitar through the music of artists like Lloyd Green, Waylon Jennings, Johnny
Paycheck, George Jones, and Mickey Gilley. At sixteen, Bryan began his own
journey with the steel guitar with “diligent determination.”
After receiving his Bachelors degree in Music Theory and Composition, the
Nashville Number System, Bryan honed his own, versatile style in honkytonks and clubs throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. Since then
Bryan has been involved with Sunset Park, a prestigious country music venue
in Southeastern Pennsylvania. He has been a staff musician at MGM Grand
Las Vegas,and Carnival Cruise Lines for many years.
Bryan has performed with Johnny Paycheck, Mickey Gilley, Conway Twitty,
Mel McDaniels, David Ball, Kenney Chesney, The Kentucky Headhunters,
Randy Travis, Brian White, David Allen Coe, Doug Stone, Lynyrd Skynyrd
and the Marshall Tucker Band, just to name a few.
Bryan Hall
Bryan is proficient as a lead and rhythm guitarist, and is also accomplished on
the dobro, banjo, and mandolin; but his passion for the pedal steel guitar has
no boundaries. With his 1975 SHO-BUD L.D.G and 1977 SHO-BUD PRO 3
pedal steel guitars Bryan constantly strives to reach new innovative heights.
When he is not on the road, or in the studio, Bryan loves teaching the pedal
steel guitar and sharing his knowledge and talent with his students.
The guy making the beat on the Pearl Session Kit is Drew Egbert. Drew's
already been around the block with Bill and Charlie having played in several
regional bands with both. Drew can be heard playing the drums in several
popular tracks on the Shotgun Blue CD entitled 'Chucky'. Playing
professionally for almost 30 years, Drew has covered the Mid-Atlantic club
scene as both a guitar player and drummer doing blues, country, Buffet,
classic rock, and southern rock.
"I have the greatest love for music and performing. I started jamming with my
step brother when I was 10 years old. That was enough adrenaline to carry
me through to today."
Drew's Motto: "Timing is everything". And that's why other musicians call
him the human metronome.
Between gigs, you'll find Drew touring the USA on his Harley.
