The Band....

 Jay Jaques

When Rob and Jay are standing side by side playing the dueling leads, there's nothing even close. Jay's southern rock flavor started with Austin Healy and carries on through today. As our resident musicologist, Jay demands nothing but the best from himself and whoever he takes the stage with.

John Daniel

John Daniel is always the most animated person on stage. When the music's rockin' and the dance floor's hoppin', John is a show unto himself. Previous work included Ritz, Chain Lightning, Nuthin' Fancy, and Cold Rolled Steel. John plays a 1995 Gibson Thunderbird Bass with Dean Markley Blue Steel ML 45-105 Bass Strings. His pride and joy is the Proto-type Peavey Unity series DynaBass previously owned by Leon Wilkenson of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Daryn Baldridge

Daryn is the backbone of our rhythm section with his tight chops and tasty fills. Hailing from Sioux Falls, S.D., Daryn has been voted the "Most Eligible Bachelor" in the band. Make sure to submit an application.

Jeff  Merrill

Jeff was born in Augsburg, Germany and grew up in a musical home. He just naturally sang along with the songs on the radio and his parents knew their five year old son was vocally inclined. Jeff has pursued his musical aspirations by joining and forming various bands including Rights of Nite, Tantrum, Would Yu, Radio Flyer, and Strait Shooter, just to name a few. His vocal influences include Paul Rogers, Robert Plant, David Coverdale, Elvis, and Rod Stewart.

Rob Riley
Rob is a 10 year veteran of Austin Healy, and also played with other bands such as Shane's Gang, The Jonsons, and the Wet Spots. His standard weapon is the Les Paul, Paul Reed Smith or other Vintage Strats laying around. Dawgwild's latest member brings his excellent songwriting skills and studio experience to the fold.
