Sam Thurau

July 20, 2008

Sam played cajon and drums regularly with the Stanley Street Band from June 2008 through March 2009.

Sam picked up the cajon on a Wednesday, and played for over 2 hours straight with us on Friday.  His wit and character shine through in his playing.  Whether it be tapping on the cajon, or rocking out on the kit, Sam was rhytmically where we needed him to be when we needed him to be there.  He’s a musical sniper!

Jay Browne came up to me while we were in between songs to answer my call for any bassists at the party willing to take the “Street Band Challenge” and play with us during a Biker Billy Party.  I handed him the bass.

Jay didn’t say much, but he kept the solid foundation to the craziness that unfolded throughout the evening.  He helped us fend off the would-be karaoke wannbe’s that seem to come out of the woodwork at outdoor parties, too!  What a fung show!

Phil Wagner

Phil Wagner fits right in with the Stanley Street Band with his versatile guitar playing ability. He is/has been in a number of bands in Central Pennsylvania.

Phil insisted on NOT practicing with us, sitting in on the first night with a new drummer, tearing it up on a tuned-down guitar, running sound, as well as fitting seamlessly in with the band.  He would listen for a few measures, and play the song like he’d written it.  Phil Wagner is a Rock and Roll magician!  He’s also in the permanent band.

Kenny Dunn is one of those dudes that scares the bejesus out of you until youget to know him.  He stepped in to perform a few raunchy songs with us during an outdoor party in July of 2008.
