Neil Darling
Born and
raised in a small town in rural Alaska, Neil Darling began playing
guitar at age 11 years old and grew up surrounded with music. His
self taught style and raw passion fools one into thinking that he
was bathed since birth in funky Rock-a-Billy Tejas Blues. The
Influences that helped fashion Neil's unique bend on music include
greats like J.J. Cale, Eric Clapton, Robin Trower, and Tom Waits to
mention a few. Thread the timeless sound of Louis Armstrong
throughout this weave and you'll find an unusual tapestry of music
clothing this talented individual, which will appeal to every
generation. His heart and soul, his passion and inspiration- A
perfect "kick-start" into full throttle Rock-n-Roll

Paul Hays
Born David "Paul" Hays, and raised in Alaska, his one-of-a-kind,
raw-gutsy guitar licks put 25-year rock and blues veterans to shame.
Being self-taught and playing for 16 years, his voice will walk you
back to the 70s, close your eyes and you might hear Steve Miller
gone reggae. Paul exudes unique musical flavor of old and new
naturally, due to influences of oldies on the radio, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn,
Jimi Page, Nirvana, the island essence of Sublime.
Move over all Jimi Hendrix wanna-be's there is a new cat in town.

Paul began playing guitar in 1977,and bass in1979. Played bars and
clubs throughout the 1980's, church through the 1990's to present.
First love is bluesy rock n roll , influenced by Aerosmith ,ACDC,
Led Zeppelin, The Who, Van Halen and Rush. Paul loves to play music,
as a bass player, always looking for the bottom of the groove is the
mission. Playing with Both Feet for Paul is second nature because of
like influences, and the bluesy riff laden song writing of Paul
Hays and Neil Darling. Besides playing music, Paul is a hard
working, blue collar , family man, who loves being outdoors, And
whether on a mountain bike or his 2009 HD fat bob there is always
music playing on the inside.

pounding drum style was a mainstay in the Washington D.C., Baltimore
and Dallas, TX metal scene, touring with Dallas’ X-Man in the early
90’s. With renewed conviction and an evolving style, Plummer looked
to take his playing in a new direction in the early 2000’s. 2006

the benefit of the song, and his love of live shows fuels his desire
