DRUMMER, VOCALS

Well, I've been playing drums since I was about 5 years old and my dad said I banged on pots and pans with spoons before that. So I've always been noisy and loud I guess.  I began playing drums at age 11 with my dad's band " the country rockers", so I grew up really fast and I learned to enjoy and play all types of music and I'm still learning!  A very close friend and awesome keyboard player and all around great musician "Carlos Gregorich" once told me that " you must always challenge yourself and your talent in order to play good music and enjoy doing it, and he was so right."  Sadly he was killed in a car accident over 10 years ago and will ALWAYS be missed.  I've played in a few really good bands over the years such as "Renegade" and "Stonebridge". I've met and worked with some well known artists such as "Kitty Wells" "Ronnie McDowell" and even got to hang out all day with "Trace Atkins" which i guess is pretty cool for a small town Rebel drummer. I've played pretty much non-stop for over 20 years. I then had a break for a few years, rarely even touching a drum set.  I also picked a little guitar and banjo mostly with old friends at small parties or around campfires.  I did enjoy the time off with my family.  My wife since our teens "Teresa" who is very cool, easy going and has always been supportive of my love for music.  My son "Danny" who is also a very seasoned drummer and my daughter "Melody" who also is a rocker and gets us tickets to some really cool concerts. I really missed playing music very much after awhile and nothing could take it's place it seemed. Before I would play again, I knew it would have to be a tight, hard driving, rocking band with great musicians. Then I heard the "Most Wanted Band" were seeking some musicians.  So, I contacted longtime friend and kickass bass and vocal man "Larry Breeden" and we set up a jam for the first time with the boss-man Kenny Meadows, Jesse Gordon and Larry Dean, (who was also seeking a kicken band). After the first time together, we all knew we had the making for that kicking, rocking band so the Most Wanted Band was "Reborn". Thanks for the new home guys, and a special thanks to Andy Hensley our Most Wanted sound man.  See Ya!!!  JEFF SPAIN
