Brad "The Dudeboy" Rogers
Acoustic Guitar, Vocals

It was the mid-1980's and Brad Rogers was in the middle of life's hardships while being disillusioned by life and his career in media. His frustration with depression and self-abuse was an internal entertainment of sorts that seemed to amuse only him. In his pursuit to turn over the cracked, dried leaf he called life, Brad took his twenty year love of music that he had expressed through slappin' the skins on his drum set and decided to teach himself guitar.
