Guitars : Fran Mann


Born in Miami Florida Fran was given his first guitar at age 6 by his gypsy uncle Couqee (cookie). As the guitar was handed to young Fran His uncle sprinkled some type of magic gold dust and whispered in Fran's ear "find the other two and you'll be fine". Ever since Fran's number one passion has been finding "the other two".
Influences : Frank Marino, Al Dimeola, Alex Lifeson



Bass & Vocal : Tracy Towne


Born in the heart Mississippi "near the old crossroads". Tracy was influenced at an early age by what He believes to be energy in the soil around his birth place. "Music was not thought about it just was", and in an enchanting manner, it haunts Tracy to this day. Tracy is behind the lyrics of SSD which are derived from his spiritual tutelage from the renowned Maharaja Uumpah, who is convinced he is the prophesied mahatma Buddha.
Infuences : Led Zepplin, Rush, The Police



Drums : Grant Dawson


Grant is a prodigy percussionist from Ohio.He has played with many jazz and rock acts on some major tours. Over the years Grant has developed his own style He calls "Universalized Drumming" which incorporates loose energy from the air and unused electrons in his brain into a centralized location at the ends of his sticks. This is a very organic experience you have to see to understand. Grant is the backbone of SSD at times unleashing a whirlwind of mechanical precision.
Influences: Mitch Mitchell, Tony Williams, Terry Bozzio
