Mars Cowling
Bass —
British wit does not elude Cowling who is from England, but not London.
Mars shared the stage with Pat Travers for many years, and his unique
"slippery" bass style is emulated by other musicians who
talk about him in the AOL music chat rooms. |

AJ Kelly
Bass —
Raised
on a steady diet of the roots of Rock 'N Roll and Rhythm & Blues,
A.J. Kelly's in-the-pocket, rock solid style developed quickly. After
touring the Midwest with his father, James Merideth (a member of the
Rockabilly Hall of Fame), Kelly moved to the San Francisco Bay area
and immediately landed a job with the Alameda All-Stars. There, he
played with music greats such as Gregg Allman, Brad Gillis (Night
Ranger), and Danny Chauncey (.38 Special). |
**Both Jorge and Steve have contributed their bass
playing to some of The Livesays new material.
Special Thanks to Ray Durso and Joe Lopez for their technical
collaborations with Billy.
