THE BEACHDOGS ARE:

...PATRICK LEONARD--guitar/ vocals. Hailing from Minnesota, Patrick has become a South Florida staple, playing in such bands as The Dreadnoughts, Crossroads, Slaw Dawgs, Stirup, Katpi, Southern Star, Paradox, and Gone South. The lad likes to gig. He and Rik have worked together for years.

...RIK SHAFER-guitar/vocals. Rik has opened for acts like The Rascals, Smokey Robinson, Mitch Ryder, and has held songwriting workshops with Harry Chapin. Starting at age 14, he has worked in 65 bands. One of the bands he was in had a top 40 record for one week in the metro NY market (whoopee)  and gigged at the Metropole Cafe in Times Square. He’s been to the rodeo.

...CARLOS HERNANDEZ--bass/vocals. Influenced by McCartney and Jack Bruce, Carlos plays multiple styles. Always in the pocket. Always fun to play with.

...BARRY MADISON--drums/perscussion. Barry plays many styles: Latin, Jazz, Rock, Country, and Pop. He played with the Marine Corps Band (Semper Fi) and in NYC clubs like CBGB’s & My Father's Place, as well as on the Glen Campbell Variety Show. This is a versatile guy.

...CORNELIUS FUNK--harmonica/Aerophone/vocals. Hailing from D.C. area, Cornelius is a multi headed talent (sounds painful) He can  produce an astonishing array of musical colors on his assorted wind and electronic instruments, and adds depth to the band's sound and scope. Plus when he's not creating quite original works of visual art from what other folks throw away, he also goes by the name Mike McDonald.
