America Embraces II BIG

Just as America's strength and history are made up of millions of individuals from hundreds of ethnic and geographical origins, so is II BIG's wealth of talent. Five men from diverse backgrounds and musical influences have been producing original recordings, touring medium-sized clubs and performance halls, as well as opening for such classic rock favorites as Foghat, Blue Oyster Cult, Loverboy, Grand Funk Railroad, Ricky Skaggs, Joe Walsh, REO Speedwagon, Ted Nugent, The Jeff Healey band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and most recently for Styx.

Whether it's an intimate setting of 200, or a room of 2,000+, the band's powerful guitars and perfectly tuned vocals echo classic rock originality. These band members have formed a union, which develops ideas and sets its goals for the future. A tradition of quality entertainment lives within each and every member of the II BIG family.

In A Mendocino Town credits:

Aubrey Hansen stands up front with his solid guitar playing and soulful vocals that can bring tears to your eyes, as well as make you get up and dance—transferring the heart of any tune right to the listener's soul.

Tom Hansen on keyboards and vocals, has been performing since he was 15. He adds years of professional talent and emotional feeling to the sound of II BIG.

Vince Knight on rhythm guitar and vocals, has performed for many years. His guitar playing talent provides a solid rhythmic foundation for II BIG and his harmony singing adds the full vocal sound to the band.

Steve Lamun's driving bass lines and well-placed licks give the rhythm section a solid kick in the lower end and, like the rest of the band, Steve stands ready for the challenges ahead. Steve is as solid a bass player as you will find.

Ken Ingels' drumming provides a solid rhythmic foundation for II BIG's sound with a style reminiscent of John Bonham. Drummers of this caliber are one in a million!
