Ben Lehl- Guitar, Vocals

Ben Lehl, a Des Moines, Iowa native, is proud to call the Midwest his home again.

He has been described as an artist who writes in a way that reflects the humanity in us all. Born with a disfigured left hand, Ben learned early not to let his hand be a deterrent to his need to write and play music. Whether the mood is tongue-in-cheek, dark and surreal or sweet and tender, it is verbalized through his capable guitar playing and emotional lyrics.

In the early 1990s Ben was part of Drasbury, a favorite among midwest club-goers. In 2002 Lehl lent his guitar talents to Emilie Autumn and toured her "Chambermaid" effort through 2003.

SARA LAWRENCE - Vocals, Percussion
Sara has been singing to anyone who would listen since she was five years old. She started taking vocal lessons at the age of nine,and has a deep love for music and singing. No stranger to the stage, Sara has performed in various choirs and rock bands. As a classically trained vocalist, she is well-rounded and has a flair and respect for all types of music.
Being a writer of lyrics herself, she is impressed by those who have the ability to write their own words and express themselves through music. Mad props to my fellow songwriters!
