was very professionally influential, "Kelly J showed me and convinced
me what it took to be a committed musician in this business of music."

creation of the freshest, hottest live band to emerge locally in quite
some time. Cory Dingle is a versatile player known for his very original
energetic guitar style, his electroacoustic integration and experimental
violin coupled with meaningful poetry. Above all Mr. Dingle believes in
the pursuit of the utmost professionalism in the business of
music. |

and electroacoustic music. His bass playing has spanned ten years
of live performance and studio work. He has played as a house band

success in music competitions. In Graham’s words "it is all a question
of priorities, and for me, music is the only priority." |
