Michael Doctor - Lead Vocals

Recently returning to the stage, tenor, Michael Doctor has been performing for 40 years. He had retired from singing in 1982 after spending over a decade as the lead singer for Columbus-based rock band, “Felony”.  His musical performances have taken him to venues all over Ohio, performing in clubs in Akron, Cleveland, Canton and Columbus. Michael has also performed the lead in many stage productions including The Student Prince and Fiddler on the Roof.  Michael returned to performing in 2003 to sing with soprano Stephanie Iannarino, and is featured on her CD, “Debut”.  Since then, Michael has rekindled his performing spirit and has been the featured performer at several Mrs. Ohio America beauty pageants.  However, Michael’s true love lies in singing classic rock and roll.  When “THESE GUYS LIVE” came calling in 2007, he accepted their offer immediately and the rest is history.

 

Joe Holton - Drums & Backing Vocals

Joe has been a musician since the early 80's, performing and recording with numerous bands including his brother Johnny during several of his recording sessions.  Joe, as a professional piano technician, has been tuning, repairing and rebuilding pianos for 28 years and currently owns and operates Holton Piano Service where in 1997 he returned to Columbus to take over the family business, started by his father, John Holton, 38 years ago.  Before retuning to Columbus in 97, Joe had the opportunity to live in New York City and was privileged to have worked with such legendary artist as Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, and Elton John, just to name a few. Joe’s keen ear for talent has him very excited about his current band and he is looking forward to continuing to work and grow with “THESE GUYS LIVE”.

Brian has been playing on the Columbus scene since the mid-80's. The first working band Brian joined was the variety band Paydirt and performed with them through 1992. Brian left the live music scene for most of the 90's while raising his son but re-emerged with the Holiday Parker Band and the Working Stiffs over the last few years. Brian's musical influences span a wide range from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, early Genesis, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones and Little Feat.

 

Fletch Sears - Bass Guitar & Vocals

"I've played in bands since I was a kid in the 60's. I knew Joe and Keller back then too. They've been at it as long as me. I've played most of the live music venues in and around the area over the years. I spent a year on the road in the 80's playing 6 nights a week and traveling around the Southern U.S......." "Joe moved back to Columbus from New York in about 1998 and that's when we first got together. We kept getting together once a week with different players. Things evolved from there and now we have These Guys Live. All in all I've had a great time and have many good memories from my stints with the bands. I think T.G.L. is the best group I've had the pleasure to play in. Things are going quite well."
