Eamonn Hubert – Lead Guitar, Vocals

Eamonn Hubert was pretty much born to rock. He’s been playing guitar since age 5 and first performed live at 6. He quickly added ukulele, mandolin, bass guitar, violin/fiddle, piano, cello, tenor sax, and drums to his toolbox in the following years. His unique brain (autism) and absolute pitch allow him to process and learn music in unusual ways.
Eamonn also enjoys singing and acting and has performed as leads and in supporting roles in several musicals including Endicott Performing Arts Center productions of “Willy Wonka Jr.” and “The Wizard of Oz Jr.” and school productions of “The Little Mermaid,” “Seussical,” “Anything Goes,” and “Chicago.” His musical talent was noticed early on by NYC casting director Merri Sugarman who invited him to audition in 2017 and 2018 for “School of Rock the Musical,” but his big break came in 2019 when he was cast as a swing and understudy for the show’s 1st National Tour. He was just 10 years old when he embarked on a 20-week whirlwind of hotel tutoring, educational field trips, daily rehearsals, private guitar lessons with a tour pit pro, and performing before thousands in 13 states.
Eamonn is an honor student and active in his high school’s Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble, Marching Band (Saxophone Line Captain), Wind Ensemble, and Mixed and Contemporary Choirs and has performed with the All County Band, Orchestra, and Jazz Band as well as Zone 3 Jr. Area All-State Orchestra. He earned three perfect scores for 2023-2024 NYSSMA Solos, two of which were All State/Level VI vocal and jazz guitar auditions, and he is currently Principal Cellist for the Senior Binghamton Youth Symphony Orchestra. An award-winning guitarist, Eamonn is the youngest person to perform at the New York State Blues Festival where he was awarded 2nd Place in the KJ James Memorial Scholarship Competition in 2016 and winning it in 2023. Eamonn also enjoys writing, arranging, and recording original music and has collaborated with other musicians in Ithaca, NYC, and the Binghamton area on guitar, cello, and violin. One of his original songs was selected as a semi-finalist in the 2022 International Songwriting Competition. Eamonn is considering a career path that might include music performance and sound production and engineering. He is also a fiercely compassionate and loyal friend, ally, and confidante to many and hopes everyone can have access to and enjoy playing an instrument as much as he does.

Doug Hubert – Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar

Originally from Queensbury, NY, Doug is a Binghamton University graduate and long-time science teacher in the Southern Tier. He has been performing live music for over 20 years. Doug started out playing covers of Irish tunes and some folk and rock songs. That quickly transformed into a combination of blues, rock, folk, etc. when his son Eamonn started playing music with
him. You can usually catch Doug rocking out rhythm guitar on his Taylor acoustic for both band and duo shows. But he has been known to bust out his Takamine 12-string from time to time.
Although he is not a professionally trained singer, Doug carries most of the lead vocal load for the band as well. He can carry a tune, as they say. And he’s “Pretty good, too…”.
Doug plays a Taylor Acoustic 214ce and uses Elixir Nanoweb light gauge strings.
Stephen “Shimes” Shimer – Drums, NO! We Don’t give him a Mic

He also was the Head Percussion Instructor/arranger for the Union-Endicott Tiger’s Pride Marching Band Drumline & Winter drum line from 2005 to 2018. Shimes was the Public Address Announcer for the Binghamton Icemen (UHL), the Binghamton Senators (AHL), and the Binghamton Devils(UHL).
Shimes plays a PDP X7 drumset with Zildjan and Sabian Cymbals and plays Todd Sucherman Pro Mark drumsticks.
Dave Jenkins – Bass, Vocals

Dave has been playing bass since 1970. He got his start playing in church musicals and got bitten by the performing bug after a show at Elmira Correctional Facility. Dave has been in local bands since 1977. He has played everything from Metal to Big Band. Except… country. Favorite guitars with HD&G are ’79 Rickenbacker 4001, Schecter Stiletto, and Fender Aerodyne Jazz (not pictured). Strings are exclusively RotoSounds.
All of Dave’s basses are custom configured to release calming vapors in the case of sudden “Free Bird” to keep me from wretching. Dave has also played a lot of theater and was a member of the Original “Tommy” Band at the Endicott Performing Arts Center in 2001, and founded the EPAC Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue with local musicians, Jo and Mike Whitney.
