The Band
 

Whiskey Alibi, with tight vocal harmonies and stellar musicianship, takes the best of rock, pop, and country, and serves them "straight up", like a good shot of aged bourbon. We're all about variety, mixing classics you'll never hear a cover band perform with new songs that will be classic tomorrow, and we stir in enough dance tunes to keep an audience moving...

  Kristyna Culp - Mandolin, Vocals, Percussion

The winsome, quiet, shy, petite flower of the group. NOT! Kristyna is either amusing everyone with her antics, or dancing maniacally at any given opportunity. "Stagefright" is our reaction to whatever she's doing. Kristyna has been known to sing bluegrass tunes. Or Gershwin. Occasionally at the same time, and doesn't care which, mostly... A native of Gaston County, NC, she usually says "Belmont" because she thinks it's less boastful and pretentious.

 
Ken Karolak - Guitar, Vocals

Ken is simply an amazing guitarist. There's no need to say anything else, except there's this big chunk to fill... So... uhm... He likes all things Irish, especially Jameson. He goes by "K2" - it's a long story.

Ken's favorite Irish thing is: "Clara Lucia". Born 7-12-22. Congratulations!

 

 

Kevin Hanson- Drums, Vocals

If we said he was a freakishly good drummer, we'd be downplaying it. He's also a bad-ass computer programmer, with a keen sense of humor (rimshots happen a lot around Kevin.) He builds his own drums and wants to build a guitar. Neal asked "are you buying a pre-made neck?" "Well, that would be cheating." "But, how're you going to lay out the frets?" "The Pythagorean Theorem". (Neal has never been this QUIET.) After a 16 month absence from our ranks, we now refer to him as the "Once and Future Drummer".

  Jim Powers - Bass, Vocals

Jim walked into the room and Kristyna looked at him and said "Now, HE knows how to dress like he's in a band". And then she turned to stare at Neal. With hard, cold eyes.

Several hours later, she added "he's a fantastic bass player, too".

Neal just stared down at his feet. And unmatched socks.

  Neal Caldwell - Guitar, Harmonica, Fiddle, Keys, Vocals & "Hat"

Neal is still trying to figure out how he got in a (mostly) rock band. "I was minding my own business and all this electric stuff showed up." He believes "Jimi Hendrix was a great banjo player but not as good as Clapton." A graphic designer by trade, he prefers people think of him as an "undiscovered" rock star, which makes artistic poverty easier to explain. A native of West Virginia (Fayetteville), but don't hold that against him. Just hide your pork rinds and PBR when he's around.
