Gary grew up on Long Island, New York with the music of
teenage idols Ricky Nelson, Bobby Rydell, and Brian Hyland and the
surf sounds of the Beach Boys.Then the exciting times of the
British invasion lead by the Beatles. He loves to sing and sings
all kinds of music from crooners like Neil Diamond, Jimmy Buffett
and Roy Orbison to the Kinks, Stones, Beatles and The Who. He was
thrilled to join the Beltway Rockers about a year ago to sing with
this energizing group, laying out classic rock tunes with just the
right blend of "get up and dance " songs and classic "man this is a
great song!" rockers.When you come to a Beltway Rockers show you
leave singing the songs and talking about coming back again. |

opening up for acts such as The Cranberries, and Marilyn Mansion.

etc. for his rich musical heritage. |

Tim has spent much of his life overseas exposed to various
musical cultures originating in Europe and North Africa. As a
result, he enjoys a wide variety of performers ranging from Peter
Gabriel and Jimmy Page to Johann Sebastian Bach and Andres Segovia,
and their influences are evident in some of his playing. Over the
years he has played sax, piano, harp and his first love, guitar, in
a variety of bands and musical groups. |

Frank Shipp -bass guitar/vocals- was a rock drummer a long
time ago, in a galaxy far, far away-called Kentucky. His influences
are primarily 60's-70's rock, including the Beatles, Santana,
Hendrix, Cream, and others. Frank "graduated" to bass a few years
ago, and his vocal/harmony influences include more recent ventures
into barbershop singing, choir, and community theater. His long
term goal is to get the whole world dancing, singing, and loving
music-short term, we'll settle for the VA/DC/MD area! |
