Steve Hatley Keyboards & Vocals

Steve began his career in music many moons ago. Without getting into just how many moons, Surf music was the big thing then, if that provides a small clue. Ironically he became attracted to rock&roll music while attending the seminary for a much different calling.
Steve's primary instruments are piano, organ, and synthesizers. Over the years he has performed and/or recorded with many bands.  He lived in the bay area for several years and signed on with Bill Graham Productions (Fillmore label) in a band which included Ronnie Montrose, Bill Church, and Chuck Ruff, later of Sammy Hagar and Edgar Winter fame. Being part of the San Francisco music scene he had many occasions to sit in on studio recordings, live performances, or sharing the bill with such notables as Van Morrison, The Pointer Sisters, The Doobie Brothers, Neil Schon, Greg Rollie of Santana and Journey, and Tim Davis, drummer for Steve Miller.......to name a few. A songwriter as well, Steve also had a tune published and recorded by a collaboration of musicians in a side project called "Bonaroo". The band consisted of Mike Hossack (Doobie Bros.), Bill Cuomo (Kim Carnes), Bob Lichtig (Seals & Croft) Jerry Weems (Edgar Winter/Ian Hunter) and Bobby Winkelman (Steve Miller). He toured extensively throughout the U.S., Canada, as well as various other parts of the globe with Rob Hanna’s Salute to Rod Stewart until he left the show in 1990.  He continues to play in other shows featuring tributes to The Cars, Bryan Adams, Bad Company and Heart as requests for these arise.  
Originally from San Francisco, Steve has called Reno, Nevada his home for many years.  He has been with the tribute to Tom Petty (Petty Theft) featuring Michael Furlong since 2000.

Wesley Orsolic Lead Guitar & Vocals

Wesley picked up the guitar at age of six and by age 14 was touring Europe with his own projects "Heart Of Blues", "Woodoo", "Had" and "Supersession Group". As a leading guitar player in his native country Croatia. Wanting to broaden his own horizons he attended Berklee School of Music in Boston and within two years was invited to Los Angeles by Motown Records. It was at that time he decided to make his new home the United States.

From New York to Hawaii, as a player , songwriter or producer, Wesley always leaves a lasting impression. With his own band T.O.T., later called Raw Nature, Wesley moved from L.A. to Las Vegas to San Francisco and finally settled down in Lake Tahoe. Living at the Lake seems to provide him with the kind of radiating energy that inspires creativity. Upon arriving in Tahoe he briefly worked with a popular local band CBK. He recorded and produced their CD Move On in 2000.

It was at that time he met native New Yorker Liz Broscoe and decided to re-invent Raw Nature. With fresh new approach to Raw Nature they formed Shaky Ground Productions. In 2001 they recorded and released CD Justify To Me. 2002 brought a full length CD Celebrity, and in 2004 their newest album Back On Track was released.

Wesley's musical upbringing contains a large amount of Rock/Blues/Funk and Jazz. His unique playing style reflects his ability to successfully combine the elements of all these styles. Wesleys solo album Now And Then was released in June 2006. Mixture of acoustic traditional and contemporary blues/pop and country is a ten songs CD all written by Wesley O. including remakes of three songs by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Beatles ( some of the few artists that inspired him over the past ).

Larry Hart Bass Guitar & Vocals

Without even realizing it, you've probably already heard the artistry of high-energy bassist Larry Hart. Born in Palo Alto, California and raised in Tracy, California. His list of credits reads as a who's who of famous bands and musicians running the gamut from jazz (Dizzy Gillespie, Gerry Mulligan, Carlos Vega , and Chuck Mangione – with whom Larry played at the world renowned Monterey Jazz Festival;)  Larry made his name through classic rock artists such as  Ronnie Montrose, Johnny Edwards of Foreigner, Paul Shortino of Quiet Riot, and Bobby Kimball of Toto. Currently Larry has been recording and preforming  with  Terry Ilous of XYZ, Michael Furlong on Atlantic Records, Eddie Money, Johnny Gunn and  Leonard Hayes from Y&T.  
 Larry also has a long association with renowned guitarist Jeff Northrup, with whom he has recorded 3 albums and continues to provide studio tracks. Larry is most known, however, for his work with drummer Carmine Appice in the rock group King Kobra, which took him from MTV videos and international touring, to #5 on the US rock charts and #1 on the European charts. "Jeff Northrup and I were working together, and we were asked to join King Kobra. We were really hard rock, and that's the edge we brought to the King Kobra band," Larry explains. "We were never really glam....although," Larry laughs, "I did use a lot of Aqua Net!" A great addition to the recording was Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons were the background singers known as the KK choir.
 Today Larry is minus the hair spray, but still has that same powerful rock-edged bass playing.  After 30-plus years of playing Larry contributes his success to his music teacher and mentor Joe Foster.  Joe was very influential with everyone he touched, and a lot of great players came from his instruction, including Gabriel Manzo of Malo, Raul Vargas of Joel, and Ron Enos, Micheal Jackson. He taught us not just how to play, but how to create and have our own sound.
