Brian Pennick - Drums / Vocals

Brian was born and raised in State College PA. At the age of ten he started playing percussion. Throughout middle school and high school he played percussion and trap set in school band, jazz band and also his own bands.

 

After graduating high school, he joined the Marines and was stationed at Camp Lejeune NC. During this time he took a break from drums.

In 2015, while living in NY, he started playing again when he met a few like-minded people and re-discovered his love of playing music.

He moved to South Carolina to be closer to his parents and has not stopped playing music since.

OTHER MEMBERS

Truly Magyar - Vocals 

Truly grew up in the 70's in Marietta, GA, where she loved to sport her pink satin "Roller Disco" jacket at Sparkles roller rink as often as possible.  When she wasn't there, you could often find her enjoying the music of Rockafire Explosion at Showbiz Pizza.

 

She has been a lifelong professional dancer (including a magician's assistant), and actress.  She can be seen in episodes of Criminal Minds, This Is Us and Shameless.  And even though this is her first time singing in a rock band, she has been singing since age three in musical theatre. Rock on!
