The Band
Paul Norman - Vocals, Guitar Paul has been a true music fan since he was 4 years old. His father always kept a variety of music playing in the house while growing up like the Beatles, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Elvis and The Eagles. What inspired Paul musically the most was the legend himself "The man in black", Johnny Cash.
Paul started performing in High School in concert choir and also played in a hard rock cover band. After High School Paul joined the Army and started freelancing with local acts while stationed in Korea and in Georgia. Paul decided in 2005 it was time to start performing again and formed the rock cover band FireCreek. Paul in his free time likes to play golf, watch football and baseball, fish, hang with the family and listen to music really loud (yes his neighbors love him).
Mike Amos - Lead Guitar, Vocals Mike is formally trained on trumpet and he used this talent to pay his way through college but his passion has always been guitar and Rock & Roll. Mike performed with many bands during high school and college and eventually ended up working with Missouri Southern, a popular Country band. Mike toured the U.S. with Missouri Southern and has opened for major country artists like Hal Ketchum, Josh Turner, Brooks & Dunn, LoneStar, Sawyer Brown, and McBride & the Ride just to name a few.
After playing Country for a number of years Mike decided to follow his true passion and moved from Country to playing Rock & Roll. If you can't find Mike playing at a local bar or working on recordings in the studio he is probably on Smithville lake fishing or camping with his family.
Eric White - Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Vocals Eric started out on piano at the age of 12. Growing up in the 80's he was highly influenced by the metal and hair bands of the time which were synth and keyboard heavy. He played keyboards in garage bands throughout high school performing at parties for friends and at local school battle of the bands. It was during this time that he discovered the bass guitar when one of the bands didn't need a keyboard but had an opening for a bassist. So he traded a Korg synth for a Fender bass and has been playing ever since. In 1991 Eric joined the Tough Guys band and played with them around the midwest for 15 years until they disbanded in June 2006. When not playing in the band Eric can usually be found at home with his wife and 3 kids or coding the band's web site.
Rob Hunkins - Drums, Vocals Growing up in the 80's and 90's, Rob was exposed to several types of music, especially Van Halen, The Police, CCR, Tom Petty and Metallica. Discovering his passion for percussion, Rob started playing drums at the age of 9. He started learning basic rudiments on a snare and a few years later, started taking lessons and was taught to play jazz. His mentor (Glenn Meyer) always used to tell him that "if you can learn to play Jazz, you will be able to play any style of music out there". All through high school and college, he has played in several different bands with genres consisting of blues, alternaive/ska, hip-hop, rock, progressive and metal. After relocating to Kansas City, Rob has spent the past few years induldging his passion to play in front of a crowd playing with original bands (Divergence & Ron Yocum and the Thunder Alley) as well as cover bands (Firecreek). When he is not playing or managing hostpital computer systems, Rob can be found on the basketball court, flag football, playing World of Warcraft, hanging with friends and family, trying to learn guitar or driving around with music cranked.
