Dave Absalom - Vocals, guitars, blues harp, mischief...
An Ohio native, Dave has been playing, singing and entertaining since he was old enough to find a captive audience. Fed by a diverse interest in music styles, his influences include James Taylor, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Leo Kottke, Eric Clapton, Van Halen, and others he may never admit to enjoying.
Dave provides life-size lead vocals to the band and deals out rock solid rhythm and lead as well as smooth acoustic sounds. Although Dave's truck radio is most often tuned to the big-country, his well rounded repertoire will appeal to the most diverse of crowds.

Tim Long - Keys, Vocals
The keys and piano have been a much need timbre for the Project band, and they couldn't be placed any better than how Tim has done it. He's found a way to lay the sound right into the empty spaces and complete the overall sound. Songs just sound better with Tim, and he's enabled us to add songs that were out of reach without the keys and piano. But that's not all. As a member of the Long family, his vocals blend in with the team and add a richness and fullness to the overall sound. Influenced by the ivory great, Linus, Tim takes a head down approach to his instrument. And raising a house full of pretty girls who all sing, Tim owns mutliple Louisville Sluggers and is well versed in laser sights.

Luke Bauman - Rhythm guitar, Vocals
As one of the newest members of the band, Luke brings an energy like no other. Along with wit and charm, Luke's warm acoustic sounds and rich voice round out the Project's dynamic sound. His influences include Barry Manilow, Air Supply, the soundtrack to Grease, and Reba McEntire. Luke's 'cool hand' can be heard on some of the Project's favorite and recent adds, including Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, and his vocals lead the way on Zac Brown and other kicking country tunes. Luke is a Sagitarrius, and enjoys swimming and tennis, and has a 'bag of awesome' the size of Texas.

Jeremy Jorgenson - Rhythm Guitar, Percussion
As a player of mutliple instruments, Jeremy brings a versatile set of talents to the Project.
A strong drummer, guitar, and bass player, Jeremy has enabled the Project to expand horizons
into new music and genres beyond its current list. His strong rhythm and acoustic sounds add a
foundation for the band's rhythm section and keep it moving and shaking. With a long drumming
background, Jeremy's influences include Bam-Bam, the Blue Man group, and the little kid who played
for Jesus. We also credit Jeremy for raising his dad, Gary, and ensuring that Gary doesn't get
out of line. Jeremy will be getting married in the fall.....sorry ladies....

Roy (Bone) Bauman - Pounding Bass, vocals ...
Providing the backdrop to the band, Roy is best known for his pounding, steady, never-miss-a-beat playing that fills the low end and rumbles the stage. His vocals are always dead-on, and he has a knack for knowing any and every song, which most likely comes from performing with both the 6-string and bass guitar for more years than he'll put in print. His list of local band affiliations is lengthy, and includes styles from matching outfit country bands, to blues and rock & roll.

Gary Jorgenson - Drums, sound, kickin' ass ...
As one of central Ohio's top drummers, Gary brings to the Project band a foundation that only a veteran drummer can bring. Having drummed with greats such as Mark May, Dan Dixon, and The Jack, Gary has the ability to take an average band and transform its rhythm into the quality that gets people to the dance floor. A hard hitting drummer, Gary fills the stage with the right rhythm at the right time. He's the fastest hands this side of Portland!
