Delwyn Edwards anchors the band on drums. Originally from England and raised in Tulsa, OK, Delwyn cut his teeth with local legends Headwind before moving to San Diego, where he’s played with bands including White Glove Test, Cakewalk, and Blindfold.
Rounding out the lineup on bass is Sppike Mike Muellenberg, known for his electrifying stage presence.
