Michigan Bands Music and Entertainers

Ray Street Park
Description: --Now simply known as RSP, the band is charging forward into the future with a new attitude led by vocalist Rick Stafford's masterful stage presence and powerful throat. He is the frontman's frontman, and leads an RSP audience into rocking mayhem without fail.
--Guitarist Jeff Howey is a diverse and schooled player with a flair for grinding crunch and an incredible command of his sound. On guitar, Jeff can do it all, and as the heart of the RSP sound, he truly gets a chance to.
--Veteran Detroit scenester Terry Alan Martin is a rare and unique bassist, borrowing at equal times from Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) and Flea (RHCP) to create a truly unique tone. His fit with the band is exceptional and he is right at home in the clay just above the bedrock of planet RSP.
--That bedrock is drummer Darrell "Rockquake" Robertson, a man posessed by the need to punish drum heads and pummel senses with his rhythmic assault. Robertson is an extraordinarily powerful player with an uncanny knack for nuance. He is foundationally strong and, with stunning ease, lays down the deep groove that RSP has become known for.
--Confident, mature and ready to take the next step, RSP is now writing in anticipation of a 2003 release to coincide with an all-out live assault on stages throughout Michigan and the Midwest. Look for the RSP live show to be one of power, conviction, energy and your basic unbridled sonic assault on the senses.
--Adjectives and hip slang aside, vocalist Rick Stafford sums it up best when he says, "Hey man, this is my LIFE."
