BARRY SHELLY
Keyboards, vocals, guitar
Barry was raised in San Francisco, California, the child of music teachers who worked at UC Berkeley. At a young age he showed an interest in gadgetry, spending hours dismantling and reassembling household appliances and electronics, much to the dismay of his parents. As he grew older, he developed an interest in music, and began modifying musical instruments and building instruments of his own design. He uses several of these to perform with on stage, and some of them have a distinctly unique sound, giving the band an uncommon musical signature that few if any can emmulate.

MORGAN SHELLY
Vocals, guitar
Barry's younger sister, Morgan, was attracted to music at a young age, learning to play many instruments and becoming an accomplished vocalist. She has studied all types of music, and enjoys infusing different regional styles in the original compositions she creates for the band. In a group of talented and diverse musicians, she finds herself in the position of being their creative and emotional rudder, and the band would not be complete without her problem solving capabilities. |

DON STOKER
Bass guitar
The REMAINZ' bassist was raised along the banks of the Arkansas River, where he was exposed to regional music styles; country, western, folk and others. His passion for music escalated when he discovered Rockabilly, which prompted him to widen his musical horizons by delving into various forms of Rock, including heavy metal and punk. His eclectic tastes found him a place on stage with the Remainz, contributing a flavor of Americana to their sound. Along with playing bass, he is proficient using banjo, acoustic and other stringed instruments. |

URNY ORWELL
Drums
Challenged from childhood with a stutter, Urny learned to cope with it by speaking in rhyme. In order to overcome feelings of inferiority and shyness, he took up the drums to be able to bond with other musically inclined youths. After drumming with several bands in the Minneapolis music scene, Urny found a home as the percussionist for the Remainz. As a result of the accident that killed all of the members of the group, his torso is twisted around so that his backside faces his front. To overcome this obstacle, he had to reconfigure his drum set, and adjust his method of playing. It didn't take long for him to become as good as ever, playing drums like no one has before. |

RIP WILDE
Lead guitar
Originally from London, Rip split with his british band while they toured the states. The Remainz had played some of the same venues as Rip's group, and when they learned that he was available, they offered him a spot in their band. He immediately proved to be a valuable addition, not only contributing a strong unifying facet to their sound, but also broadening their visual appeal with his stage presence.
