Frankie G ~ Guitar/Vocal: Prior to FG&C, Frankie G headed up the East Bay band Killin' Floor for 9 years. Many festivals made Killin' Floor an annual staple in their line up for the crowd-pleasing talent of Frankie G. Emotional and passionate in style, Frankie holds nothing back when he performs for the crowd. Influenced by the likes of Freddie King, SRV, Eric Clapton and Johnny Winter, his own style shines through and delivers the goods.
Mac Akin ~ Bass/Vocal: Originally from the NYC/NJ area music scene, Mac has firm roots in Blues, Rock 'n' Roll and Western Swing. His solid, Fender, four-string styled approach, holds down the groove and keeps the The Conviction drivin'. Influenced by the classics, Mac is as solid and as funky as they come.
Kathy Tejcka ~ Piano/Keys and Vocals: Hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska, where she fronted her own band for 8 years, keeping the blues and honky-tonk alive. She moved out west and was warmly welcomed by North-Beach icon, Johnny Nitro. Kathy maintained her door-slammer position for over 5 years, until Nitro's untimely passing. Her flawless piano and barrel-house vocals keep her as a crowd favorite.
Drums: (FGTC is honored to be supported by several amazing drummers)
Stewart Burr ~ Drums/Vocal: Burr, an East Bay resident, chooses the drums as a lifestyle and as a profession. Playing with talents such as Red Archibald and "the legendary" Chubby Checker, Stewart adds an energy and feel to all rhythms. With a degree in Jazz studies and European tours under his belt, he is content rockin' with The Conviction and performing for the crowds.
Mick Mestek: Among Mick’s many touring and recording credits include Chris Cain Band, Etta James, Tracy Nelson, Buddy Miles, Pete Escovedo, Charlie Musselwhite, Omega, blues guitarists Tommy Castro, Daniel Castro, Ron Thompson, Roy Rogers, bassist/producer Curtis Ohlson, Rosie Gaines, guitarist/composer Ray Obiedo and a who’s who of Bay Area favorites including The Hoodoo Rhythm Devils, Tortilla Soup and Manzo.
Sky Garcia: has performed internationally and within the States for over two decades. His interest in music started at the young age of four as his father was a musician. He is a firm believer that having a positive attitude, being punctual and prepared will only enhance any musical environment and opportunity presented.
Sky currently tours and records with Alligator Records recording artist Chris Cain. Learn more about Chris Cain, visit his website at www.chriscainmusic.com |
