THE MUSICIANS
LEAD & BACKING VOCALS, RHYTHMIC DOODAHS - SUSAN IS A DENVER NATIVE AND GREW UP IN A HOME FILLED WITH MUSIC FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. SHE SANG IN CHOIRS AS A KID, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL 2010 SHE BEGAN SINGING SOLO IN EARNEST, AFTER ENCOURAGEMENT FROM GOOD PALS AND HER TERRIFICALLY SUPPORTIVE (NOT TO MENTION DEVILISHLY HANDSOME) HUBBY, JERRY. SUSAN IS THE FOUNDER AND MANAGER OF THE MINDING AND ENJOYS HAGGIS, FAST CARS, GENTS IN KILTS, THAT HIGHLAND BROWN DRINK--NOT NECESSARILY IN THAT ORDER!

MR. AMIDON BEGAN PLAYING GUITAR NOT LONG AFTER BIRTH AND DEVOTES MOST OF HIS FREE TIME TO THESE STRINGED INSTRUMENTS ALONG WITH PERFECTING HIS PIPES FOR PERFORMANCES. HE LIVES IN HIGHLANDS RANCH, COLORADO WITH HIS LOVELY BRIDE, HALLIE.
ELECTRIC FRETTED AND FRETLESS BASS, VOCALS/BACKING VOCAL, BAND SANDLAPPER - CHIP CAME INTO THE WORLD IN SOUTH CAROLINA AT 7 LBS.,10 OZ. HE DIDN'T GET MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT, AS IT ALL WENT TO HIS HUGE MUSICAL TALENT! HE LEARNED TO PLAY GUITAR GROWING UP BUT THEN TOOK OVER THE "LOW END" DUTIES AFTER THE BASS PLAYER OF THE BAND IN WHICH CHIP WAS PLAYING LEFT. CHIP NEVER LOOKED BACK. HE LIVES WITH HIS TWO KIDS, AND WE LOVE HOW HIS ACCENT POPS OUT WHENEVER HE GETS EXCITED!
