Windfall members are:
Dirk Pettit - Drums, logistics. One of the area's top drummers...In addition, every band needs people to do the heavy logistical lifting that it takes to present a professional show to the public and Dirk does it for Windfall. He provides practice space, equipment transportation, band lighting and sound equipment, and does the majority of bookings. Many years of area band experience. One of the group's original founders, now going on year 6 under the Windfall name.
Melanie Uhl - Lead vocal, rhythm guitar. If you can hear a voice that reflects a combination of vocalists like Melissa Etheridge, Janis Joplin, Sass Jordan, Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, Robert Plant and a few others, you can begin to hear a unique voice like Mel's. Joined Windfall in 2005.
Clay Jenkin - Lead guitar. Joined the band in 2007 learning 40 songs in 30 days for his first show. Clay is a creative guitar genius who is just hitting his stride after a multi-year sabbatical. Can play anything to include Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Angus Young...
Karen Rightmyer - Keys, harmony vocal. Joining in 2008, Karen pitches in with signature keyboard parts and backup vocals. Karen does a great job fronting the band and talking to our audience while the rest of the band fiddles around on stage between songs.
Ed Robbins - Harmonica, rhythm guitar. Began with us as a guest harmonica player in 2008 and was such a great addition that we now do a group of songs that feature his harp solos. An outstanding rhythm guitar player, he adds superb body and depth to the rhythm section when the tune calls for it.
Mike Henry - Bass, harmony vocal. One of the original founding members with Dirk, Mike's Ampeg SVT4-Pro with 810 cab and Stingray 5 bass rig, combined with Dirk's expert percussion, lays down a solid foundation for the music Windfall offers.
Windfall currently has an email group of 200 members that we notify for every appearance. Invest your entertainment dollar wisely and get the best return available in the area.
