BAND








  The Band - 19 Years and counting
 

 

Quick Silver Express is a cover band that has been around the Central Ohio area since 1988. We mostly play Country music but we have not forgotten the great Classic Country, Classic and Southern Rock music. Over the years we have gone through many changes and we feel that we are better and stronger as individuals and as a band. We are a very dedicated group of musicians with an energetic stage presence. We are quick to interact with the audience without forgetting our purpose on stage.

I am a founder and an original member still with the band today. Ed Salyers and I started the band about 18 years ago. I started out playing rhythm guitar then followed my desire to learn and play lead guitar. With being in the band for so many years, I have had a chance to work with many good musicians. But, I believe with the talent we have now we are by far the best this band has ever been. One of the greatest things about this band is that I still love playing on the weekends and wished I could play more. I would like to thank my family for allowing me to live out this passion. Besides my interest in the band I enjoy spending time with my family, and deer hunting  and  I also enjoy listening to different types of music but country is my first choice. One of my favorite artist is Kenny Chesney and my favorite band is Alabama. I am 46 and have been married for 27 years. I have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. I have lived in the Glenford area for over 23 year

Born and raised in Newark, Oh. Now 33 years old, married with two children. I have been playing with the band for almost 10 years. I enjoy spending time and playing sports with my family. In my pastime I also like to hunt and fish. Some of my favorite artist include Tim McGraw, Eagles, Reba and Lynard Skynard but I really enjoy most types of music. When I first started with the band it was just something new to do. Now here I am 10 years later and still jamming.
