Band Mates

"We're getting the band back together, man!"

This is what we look like, and what we play.

Chuck Puckett Guitar, Vocals		Richard Eade Bass, Guitar, vocals
Songwriter, playwright, actor and metaphysicist, Chuck is an excitable boy. He, Richard and Shelley started playing together more than 20 years ago, and the music they make has only gotten to be more fun over time.		Richard plays music all over North Alabama. A multi-instrumentalist, he plays everything from rock to jazz. He can usually be found on stage with eyes shut and fingers on a fretboard.
Shelley Heard Mandolin, vocals		Ruthie Puckett Vocals
Shelley is a twenty year veteran and founding member of Mister Charley (aka Bimini Road). He is a long time member of the Huntsville Traditional Music Association and was a founding member of the Huntsville Mandolin Orchestra. He has also played in the Renovators and the Wade Mountain Wanderers.		Ruthie can belt a blues or kill you softly with her song. She’s an accomplished musical actress, and joined Bimini Road as a lark (and because her dad asked her nicely). But now it’s turned into a passion. Ruthie is a sophomore in New College at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
Daniel Eade Percussion, vocals		Jason Morgan Guitar
Daniel started playing musical instruments at the age of 3. Besides playing percussion with Bimini Road, he has been lead singer of Straight Up Chicken and was the percussion section leader for the Sparkman High School band. Daniel is a Engineering sophomore at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.		Jason is the newest member of the group. A guitarist, composer, playwright and artist, he's also designed the cover for our CD (a work still in progress). We will eventually succeed in getting him to sing. For now, we strategically place microphones near his mouth.
