NORTHBAR 059.JPG (113732 bytes) DAVE CARTER, joined us in June 1995, bringing thirty-plus years of drumming experience and showmanship. He is versatile in all styles of music but really enjoys country and rock. Dave's humorous commentary adds just the right ingredient for a fun-filled show.

100_3503.jpg (982354 bytes) Marshell baker, started with Mane St. in August 2007 and contributes thirty-plus years of professional guitar skills and will share vocal responsibilities with John, Jim & Mark . He also will be handling most of the keyboard responsibilities.  Marshall's ability as a songwriter should give the band more originals to look forward to.

NORTHBAR 050.JPG (69395 bytes) JOHN POTES, the ever-popular "Ring Master" of our show, brings twenty-plus years experience and is the driving force behind Mane St. His responsibilities include laying down solid bass lines, lead vocals, and is the founding member of the band. And, if that isn't enough, he also operates the lighting system during shows and handles the business side of the band.

 

NORTHBAR 055.JPG (53075 bytes) JIM STANFORD, primary vocalist of the band, has been entertaining audiences for thirty-plus years. His pleasant voice is supported by strong rhythm guitar, foot stomping fiddle and mandolin playing. For several years Jim fronted the popular local band, Lotta Miles. Whether it is a soothing ballad or a smokin' rocker, Jim feels right at home and gets the job done.

 

Scott Knecht, Sound & Lighting technician for the band. 

Combining the talents of these five individuals to form the band Mane St. has produced an energetic and enjoyable musical entity. Mane St. is always striving to provide their audience with the current hits but not forgetting the classic favorites. Mane St. has learned through experience that the audience knows, and shows you what they like. Whatever the case, Mane St. has always risen to the challenge of offering what our listeners want, namely, "Today's Country . Rock Classics"! So sit back and lend an ear or jump up and dance, but whatever you do, prepare yourself for a good ol' rock'n time with west Michigan's very own Mane St.

LARRY VELEY  We lost Larry on October 4th 2004. He will always be with us on stage as well as in the music we play.
