Biographies
DAVID EPPERSON, JR.
In his nearly two-decades-long career, David has been there and back in many musical genres. As a performing, and recording artist in the ‘90s, he performed in every ‘A’ circuit venue with his collaborative rock band ‘Brickyard Poets’, as well as displaying his instrumental versatility playing bass with The Jimmy James Band (Tommy Two-Tone). While in the studio recording the first album for ‘Brickyard Poets’, David was approached by Copper Plate Records, who signed him to his first writing/publishing contract.
Later Projects include Men from Mars, Trade Secrets, and Sixth Sentz. Current work includes Scarlett Moon – with partner, Sharon Epperson. Fleetwood Max has been a passion project since 2007 and continues to be a career focus.
SHARON EPPERSON
Offering a diverse professional musical background that includes many exceptional theatres and venues throughout the Eastern United States, Sharon is widely regarded as one of the best female vocalists/performers in the Tampa Bay area. As a child, performing and singing came naturally, taking the stage at a young age for family & friends, and studying with vocal coach Joe Rojek (Conductor: Palace Theatre, Manchester Community Theatre), in her home state of New Hampshire.
With a musical foundation rooted in Rock, Blues, and R & B; influenced by Carol King, Aretha Franklin, Aerosmith, Queen, and of course, Stevie Nicks, she has been a mainstay of Bay Area music since arriving over fifteen years ago. Current work includes Scarlett Moon – with partner, David Epperson.
JAY NICHOLS
Professional Touring Drummer, Jay Nichols, earned a BA in Performance at Berklee College of Music and went on to serve as the drummer/conductor for the ‘Legends in Concert’ show at the Claridge Casino Hotel in Atlantic City for seven years (source: BerkleeAlumNotes).
Jay comes to Fleetwood Max with perfect timing and a passionate dedication to his projects. Newly transplanted from Vegas, Jay has toured extensively in the US, Canada, and Europe, most recently with Bruce in the USA (featured on AXS’s World’s Greatest Tribute Bands).
DAISY ASH
Born into a musical New York family, ‘Daisy’ began playing piano at age five and found herself drawn to drums at the age of nine. After graduating college at Cornell University, she played several well-known venues in New York City including the Marriott Marquis in Times Square on New Year’s Eve.
Daisy brings authenticity to her role as Christine McVie with warm vocals, spot-on harmonies, and her multi-instrumental talent! Musically influenced throughout her career by Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers, she also enjoys a wide range of genres, from Reggae to Progressive House music.
NEIL CURTIN
If you don’t know it already, New England has always been about Rock! For Bass Player Neil Curtin, growing up in Massachusetts meant listening to and admiring Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers, and Fleetwood Mac.
With a musician Father, it made taking up an instrument that much more alluring, and he admits to getting the music bug at an early age. After learning a few chords from Dad at age 12, Neil knew music was his passion and he has been performing since. He has worked throughout the Eastern US with several touring bands and is prolific, professional and dedicated to any project he takes on, including Fleetwood Max.
