al parsons: Bio's

Al Parsons

Al’s musical influences span country, folk, rockabilly, country rock, 60's rock,
blues, and gospel.
He spent several years as a back-up musician playing bass and singing back-up in "The American Heart Band" which backed such artist's as Lorrie Morgan, Johnny Lee, Ace Cannon, Frankie Ford, Johnny Tillotson and Ronnie Dove, taking him to places like Barbados, Trinidad, Hawaii, Texas and up and down the east coast.

Al also did a "DOD" tour for the military bases in Panama and Honduras with "Maria Rose and the Blue Horizon Band".

Al currently stays busy teaching guitar and bass, and keeps a full weekend schedule of performing around the Gettysburg, Hanover Pa area, with Steve Snyder and Jay Beamer

Steve Snyder and Jay Beamer

Steve has been playing music since,
he was 6 years old. Piano, trombone, organ, bass and singing. He played together with Jay in a band called:
The BRUTES: playing guitar 1966; organ and back up vocals 1967 - 1970.
After college and a marriage started, he and Jay met up with Al to form: SAJE: playing, bass guitar / back up vocals 1980 - 1983.
Several years later, Al calls Steve to help him with his solo career, which eventually became a solid duo, and later Jay comes back in town from L.A. California. Short story, but I think that covers it for now. Below are some of the Band names Steve and Al went through, then Jay after Stick and Stoned.
