THE BAND

Whitney Hess-  Every band needs a musical director, someone with years of experience playing professionally with a wide range of rock, jazz, blues, swing, classical, and even Broadway stars.  Since we couldn’t find one, we have Whitney.  Whitney handles lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitar, and is a featured soloist on the saxophone.  And yes, he does bring many years of experience to the band.  Whitney also currently plays with Big Planet Soul.

Vicki  Hess-  The boys in the band call her ‘The Diva’.  Not because of her attitude, but because she is blessed with a wonderful voice.  Strong, pure, smooth, and saucy are words that come to mind.  That describes both Vicki and her voice!  As wife to Whitney, mother to Willow and Xander, and lone female in the band, she has her hands full.

Monty Vickers-  Monty plays a stable of guitars, sings, plays harmonica, wears a bewildering array of hats, and keeps the audience anticipating his next moshpit dive.  He is “Mr. Entertainment”!  Both the crowd and the band have to be on their toes when Monty is in the house.

B. J. Nibert-  B.J. and Monty form the ‘pair-a-docs’ paradox for the band.  25 years after meeting in Philadelphia they said, “Hey, let’s re-live the dream of our teenage years and play in a rock band!”  So, B.J. is back, playing keyboards and styling in his omnipresent doo-rag.

Chuck Peterson-  Chuck and Whitney have been friends since childhood.  Now you know why we let him in the band!  Chuck brings a smooth sound and innate feel to the bottom line for the band.  His past experience ranges form formal music in school to various jazz and rock bands.  When not playing with the band, Chuck likes long bike rides in the mountains, inexpensive malt beverages, and girls over the age of 18.

Kevin Levine-  Kevin joins as our drummer in residence after David Mayse's 'retirement'.  Once BJ went to the total shaved head look, David skills as a hair stylist were in less demand.  And, having an attorney touring witht he band is always a good idea!

Bill Glover-  Bill is often 'billed' as our special guest artist.  He's played with us so often, we're rewarding/punishing him by including him as a member!  Filling in on guitar or bass, Bill is always a welcome addition.  And with his gift of pitch, Vicki loves having her "harmony twin" on stage.

Dr. Leonard FichterSurgeon by day, rock god at night, “Otto” does not get to join up with the band very often due to his intensive day job.  But when he gets a chance to let his hair down he does just that!!!   Whether he’s singing one of his tasteful originals or jamming along to a rock classic on his P.R.S. every Lost Cause show with Dr. Fichter is guaranteed to be a memorable one.

David Hudnall
 

David has a Degree in Music and is also the bass player and vocalist for local bands Joshua and Big Planet Soul.  He’s obviously over-qualified for Lost Cause so what is he doing here?  Pity?  No!  Well, maybe.  But for Lost Cause David gets a chance to break out the drum kit and he lays down an excellent beat for the Lost Cause Band whenever he is called upon!
