Current Line-up
Luckily, he can count to four!
Drumming since he was a kid, singing since he can remember…
but age is the new challenge! He continues to make it a great voyage with a bunch of great
musicians and thankfully the voyage continues!
Scottie
'Bottom End' Keillor. He came. He rocked. He got old. He still rocks. (just
sometimes in a rocking chair now)
Heiki,
pronounced Hey Key(s), is permitted to play keys with Coalescence on two
conditions:
- He must serve cocktails at all
jams, and
- He must not sing.
So far so good:
- No one has died, or even vomited
from his cocktails, although there have been some snide remarks about some
of his Flemish (phlegm’ish) concoctions,
- There is nothing as beautiful and
serene as the sound of Heiki not singing and Heiki has maintained that
standard.
Fun fact:
Heiki used to be the eye candy of Coalescence until Jeff joined the band.
Now he occasionally fills that role as backup when Jeff has a bad hair day.
Murray Johnson has been involved in music since
his early teenage years - either playing it, recording it or spinning it.
Coming from local bands Pickled Beats and BluFunk Buddha, he brings acoustic
and synthesized guitar sounds to Coalescence. Don't take him seriously -
he doesn't know what he's doing...
Jeff has been playing
guitar for over a year now. Being a music teacher and family man with children,
Jeff knew that the only way he could justify buying stage clothes meant joining
a metal band. His influences, besides Messi, includes everything from Stevie
Ray and Hendrix to Van Halen and Steel Panther. Jeff loves keeping live music
spontaneous and straight from the soul. Be ready for anything!
