Promo Video Live at Club Impulse

Lisa | Vocals

Lisa is not your typical band singer. Her talent is raw and true which is showcased in all of her performances. As compared to other female vocals, she does not try to over-sing songs and performs effortlessly. She took over vocals after filling in for their regular singer in the Midnight Special Band. She was discovered by Frank at Frank's Place Sunday night Karaoke. He though that the DJ was playing the original until he looked up and saw that it was Lisa singing. He approached her and asked if she would be interested in singing with his band. She agreed and the rest is history. She also sings in East of Seattle, an acoustic 90s alternative cover band, with Wattage sharing vocals and playing guitar. GEAR: Sennheiser Microphones.

Freddy | Drums / Backing Vocals

FREDDY SICKELS is a self-taught drummer and vocalist. He found his passion for music by watching his mom Emma play lead guitar and sing in his uncle's country band. As a teenager, Freddy joined the Barberton marching band as a drummer and competed in drum corp competitions. In 1973, he achieved 3rd place in the world championship solo competition.

Afterwards, Freddy started performing with his mom at small venues as a two-piece band. This experience led him to play in several successful bands, performing five nights a week throughout high school and beyond. One of his most cherished memories was playing bass and drums alongside his son, Matt Sickels, and drummer Fred in their family band "The Sickels Boys."

Freddy takes pride in playing parts exactly as they are recorded. His playing style includes a powerful foot to create a thunderous boom, while maintaining a steady backbeat to keep everyone dancing. He has collaborated with numerous local bands including "Class Act," "Nostalgic Gold," "Laflavour," "45 RPM," and most recently "Invincible (A Tribute to Pat Benetar)." Being a fan of The Cover Band for a long time, Freddy is thrilled to finally be a member of the band.
