Mark Sendra
Guitar and Vocals
Mark has been playing guitar for over 40 years in the Chicagoland area playing with numerous bands including The Bushwackers, The Paul Avers Band, Axis, Outpatience, and Ultrasound.
A self described guitar geek, he has played many musical genres including country, blues, worship, and of course rock music! When he’s not playing guitar, he’s building them, modding them, and doing whatever it takes to keep his hands on them!
Mark is looking forward to inspiring every audience to move, groove, and get out on the dance floor to show off their stuff!
Pat Culligan
Drums / Vocals
Pat has been a musician playing a wide variety of music for his entire life. After touring for 5 years in the early 80’s backing up bands such as Survivor, Huey Lewis and the News, Rare Earth, The Look, and the Greg Kihn Band, Pat took a “day job” but never stopped playing and recording…..continuing to fuel his passion for music. Pat has always taken that passion for all things creative and channeled it back towards what he has always loved…playing music!
Pat’s ability to be a hard hitting and authoritative drummer or a melodic subtle percussionist as needed keeps the energy high and engaging…keeping audiences moving to, listening to, and enjoying whatever style of music the band is groovin’ on.
Dave Jones
Bass/Vocals
In Dave’s world it’s always been “It’s All About the Bass”. Although it wasn’t his first instrument, he always knew bass gave the music the feel and foundation that makes it special.
Dave started playing bass in high school and earned his chops playing collegiately in the University of South Dakota Jazz Bands, and whether it was his Hofner, Rickenbacker, or Precision he hasn’t put it down since.
Dave’s first preference has always been classic rock with his major influences coming from such legends as Paul McCartney and James Jamerson. He has been playing classic rock in various bands over the past four decades, and is incredibly excited about what True Vinyl is all about.
Dave will always have the low end covered, 4 strings…. one note at a time.
