Alan:
Born into a family of 10 children and living in a rural community of Nicaragua, Alan has spent most of his life working with the local orphans and the area's food management programs. He was inducted into the priesthood at age 5, and has been actively searching for noble causes in which to fight. He became musically affluent at the age of 10, and has been singing and playing since. The newest member of Sandy Creek, Alan has brought some of his Nicaraguan musical influences to the stage and will excite you with his primitive dance moves. Versed in many languages, Alan can even sound as though he is actually singing. A past member of Blackwater, he was removed from his position because of his stand on the destruction of humpback whales and its harmful effects on the ecosystem, and for his constant insistence that he had been abducted by aliens. He will be sadly missed by his fellow members of Greenpeace and the Department of Alien research at the New England Conservatory.  

Steve:
Steve was one of the first members of the horseshoe league in Montreal Canada. I bet you didn't know that! Steve's prowess with the Silver U's has brought him praise throughout the horseshoe community. Steve began his illustrious career as a regular on the highly acclaimed television program "Asparagus and the Butler.” He was one of the premier members of the British drama group "Steve's Drama Group.” His troupe played some of the largest venues in England, and to some of the highest members of English royalty including Bob Sagett, Paul Anka, and Mick Jagger. Acting has always been in Steve's blood. On a dreadful night one December, Steve's career came to an end after a cast party in the back alleys of Liverpool. Day-old shrimp had been served and as a result, Steve ended up in the dumpster, highly addicted to shell fish. After an exhausting five months in rehab, Steve moved to Montreal and began his year-long training in the art of horseshoe pitching. To this day, he is one of the nation's best known pitcher of shoes. How did he end up in Sandy Creek?
 We don't really know.

Jano:
Little is known about Jan (if that's his real name). We have, after exhaustive research, found these things to be true. Jan served as a Navy Seal for approximately 10 years and then did a small stint with the Black Ops program in the NSA. He was also one of the nation's premier Boxcar Willy impressionists and traveled with the NFR circuit. Records had been sealed prior to Jan's arrival in the Sandy Creek band. All that is known is that he mysteriously showed up one day, sax and keyboard in hand. Due to the nature of his past, we have given up asking anything of Jan. All he tells us is that if he says too much, he will have to kill us....e'nuf said! We appreciate the fact that Jan has a past....so let's just leave well enough alone. 

FYI....he is considered to be a fairly dangerous man. Stay clear!

Mike
Born in Skanksville Kentucky, Mike was raised by a family of dentists and orthodontists. He was this town’s only claim to fame, and his family benefited from the gold mine of toothless residents. With an uncanny ability to fish and carve wood, Mike made his way to the University of Kentucky where he began his studies in wildlife conservation and reservoir modeling techniques. This was the start of something big. Talented yes, but grasping the intricacies of reservoir modeling would bring great notoriety to Mike. After graduation, he moved to the great state of Nebraska where he became an important part of the state's game and parks programs. His reservoir knowledge led to some of the greatest discoveries ever made by Mike and fellow Nebraskans – including water. The award of merit was bestowed upon Mike at an early age, so how could he top this? Well, his emergence in the Sandy Creek Band was the second highest award of merit ever given to a Nebraskan. 
We are damn glad he brought his talents to the stage.       

John
I bet you didn't know that John was once a famous songwriter for the little known record label "Motown"? His version of "Cadillac Sally" was slated to be his first career-topping single. He was then delivered the news that some guy named Otis Redding had changed the name, and of course, the rest is history. Leaving Motown in a rage, dazed and confused about his future, John settled in the small community of New Haven Connecticut. He took on the position of editor at the New Haven Weekly, a bold and energetic periodical that has to this day been seen as a major news outlet. John's bashing of the major record labels and his letters to large corporations had made him a target for rash criticism in some circles. Eventually leaving the paper, he continued his pursuit for justice and the American way by involving himself in the Scholastic Rock program where he penned the famous "Conjunction Junction” song, known to be the one of the best examples of Americana in children's song writer circles. To this day, John has credited his success to the early writings of the "Weekly" and its subsidiaries. The town of New Haven has erected a statue of John which still stands today! Hurray for you, John!
