STUUUUUU... WHERE ARE YOU? With the show date coming ever closer the guys had a solid set list but still no bassist. Finally after several auditions and disappointments their brake came! Bassist Mark Welker while visiting a local music shop saw the add and called them. They immediately set up an audition and Mark passed with flying colors. The same week they called him back over to start working on the set list which consisted of songs from Satriani's Albums. Mark Welker started as bass player for Tommy's Joe Satriani Tributeproject. Mark, like Brian Shearn can be very progressive on his instrument, laying down odd meter grooves and Billy Sheehan fingering, but knows how to lay back and groove with Brian on the fat grooves.
