Finally!

It's been a long hard slog to get back, but here we are.

We've had a complete overhaul of our roster, so Heide & Jim are the remaining original Pedestrians from 2007.

Lynn Wagner joined us late 2019 after seeing us play at the Dane Holding Group holiday party. She's still with us and rocking the keyboards and adding her crisp, clean vocals.

Our first bassist after the pandemic retired and moved home to the upper midwest. Fortunately, that allowed us to find Jim Podzius. With two Jims it can get a little confusiing, but he's happy to go by Podge. Podge has a discerning ear, a variety of bass styles to match the mood, and warm vocals.

The struggle to find and keep a lead guitarist was perhaps the hardest slot to fill. When the bass position opened, our lead guitarist went off to play with another band. We had two other candidates hold the position until we finally found Albie Duarte. Albie is a veteran musician that has played multiple styles and multiple instruments in multiple bands. The Pedestrians are happy to have Albie on lead guitar and vocals.

Just as Albie got settled, our original drummer had to drop out for personal reasons. They were severe, and we fully support Trevor. That left a huge hole in the group. Podge said, "I know a guy that would be happy to fill in until we find a full time guy." As a result, Mike Sheahan joined the band, and has siince become a dedicated Pedestrian! Mike's got a solid beat and he's a perfectionist about working with Podge to set the right groove.

We are so happy with our band roster. You can see us play on 19 Oct & 02 Nov 2024 at the two Alzheimer's benefits in the valley. Details are on the Our Gigs page!
