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.

Rob grew up on healthy doses of Baltimore gospel radio, Motown and British invasion rock 'n roll.
In the days of AM radio, James Brown was always available - as was the Supremes, the Beach Boys and
all the crooners in late 50s and early 60s. Rob became a guitar enthusiast on the back of Mel Bay
and The Beatles. He formed his first band "Beneath Suspicion" in 2000, and has been in the local
music scene since then.

Pete has played drums in many bands since the 80's, opening up for acts such as The Cranberries,
and Marilyn Mansion. His formative years included heavy doses of classic rock and credits
bands like Lep Zeppelin, Rush, Kansas, Bad Co., Beatles, etc. for his rich musical heritage.

Mark grew up (if in fact he has) in New York City in an apartment often filled with the 60s musical
sounds from AM radio and Motown records. He got hooked on the music of the Jefferson Airplane and
the San Francisco sound after seeing the film Monterey Pop for the first time. After a 30 year
search for the perfect match, the Beltway Rockers is Mark’s first (and last) venture with a band.
Every year he makes his pilgrimage to meditate, learn and jam with his musical idols: Jorma
Kaukonen and Jack Casady at the Fur Peace Ranch in Ohio.

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. Today, Tim is still searching for the perfect funk riff, the
perfect lead break, and the perfect ending.
