Some say Shanna wears her heart on her sleeve but we believe it shows more through her voice. She started her adventure in music at an early age then put touring on a shelf when life happened. Her voice hasn’t missed a stride; however, with hints of Gretchen Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Janis Joplin and Lzzy Hale. Having a good time playing great music is on display when Shanna hits the stage. Rafters shake when tequila flows and “Gerty” cuts loose.
TOM FITZGERALD
Lead Guitar and purveyor of fine whiskeysHitting the ground running straight out of military service; Tom toured with metal bands up and down the west coast (back when he could grow hair). Since then he has pursued excellence in many bands playing jazz fusion and rock & roll with influences from artists such as Steve Morse, Joe Satriani, and Joe Perry. Whiskey Would has expanded his horizons by tapping into his roots growing up on the mountain tops of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Country and Blues come naturally. When that Les Paul comes out of the case, expect the party to kick up to 11. Let's Ride!
ARIEL LOPEZ
Drums/Vocals - Available for bourbon clinics Started playing drums at a young age playing in bands for many years. Whether its rock, country, kickin' blues tunes Ariel is the glue. Whatever sounds good and gets his heart thumpin' is fun to play. He joined up to help Ian hold down the beat for Whiskey Would as well as harmonies on the high-end. Come on out and say hey to Ariel and have a great time with Whiskey Would. Let's hit the ground runnin'!!
MARK ENGELBACH
Harmonica and Shotglass Mark's passion for music is only rivaled by his passion for being in the country riding his Harley. His harp will touch your soul with blues, dancin' with Rock n Roll, and give you boot scootin' boogies. Mark's influences range from Sonny Boy Williamson to James Cotton but has never left his Rock N Roll drive. It's not hard to find Mark in a local pub sitting in with other musicians adding his back roads influence. Cheers!
IAN MCCORMACK
Bass / Vocals and mas tequila....Deep Purple’s Machine Head and The Who’s Quadrophenia ….two albums that led Ian to the bass and always wanting to be not only the backbone of a band but also a lead voice in the instrumentation of a band. Who better to teach him than Roger Glover and John Entwistle. Ian has been doing studio work and live performances all across the US from Boston to Memphis from Atlanta to Columbus, he also attended Berklee College of Music in between. Now teaming up with Whiskey Would....Why, you may ask….Ian says, "because this group loves to have a good time and play good music; country, rock, blues and everything in between. We are having fun and we are going to make sure you, the audience, and our fans, have fun too! Can’t wait to see you at a show, come up and say hey and let us know what is going to keep bringing you back to see us." Peace.
