And The List Grows Daily………….
Jimi Hornof – Whether it be the drawl of Toby Keith, the angst of Eddie Vedder, or the piercing screech of AC/DC's Brian Johnson, as Transformations front man and lead vocalist, Jimi gives the band "tribute quality" vocals in every genre! Jimi’s been fortunate to have played with some great players as well as make many great friends while pursuing his obsession - music. Jim co-founded the band DeepSix and has performed for significant charity organizations with the band SPAKL.
Dave Geer – A seriously sought after drummer in the Chicagoland area, Dave performs with several mainstream acts including “Who’sWho”, a formidable Who Tribute Show. Dave also performs with Rex Carroll and tours with Maron Gaffron.
Joe Stopka – Active as a session guitarist over the past 3 decades Joe ‘s vocal and lead guitar roots are deep in Chicago’s rich rock heritage performing with Dance R&B band Rif-Raf and New Orleans R&B influenced Crawdads. Joe has written and produced commercial and industrial music for international corporations and music libraries. You can catch Joe’s original music on CDBaby.com. Joe’s recent projects include the Beato Band of L.A. which features Dave Pack (Ambrosia), Steve Porcaro (Toto, Michael Jackson), Rafael Padilla (Miami Sound Machine/Chris Isaak) and more.
Bill Protine – Also currently featured with another Chicago area favorite, The Rob Post Band, Bill is an accomplished composer and music producer with a solo CD and has worked with the famous Morris Day (Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis/Janet Jackson). Bill’s versatility on guitar and vocals along with an incredible wit adds the perfect edge of fun and excitement to the bands arsenal.
Kyle Johnson – With a diverse background of composing and producing music for the gaming industry as well as commercial music Kyle offers a depth of experience on keyboards to the Transformation line up. Kyle brings new soundscape enhancements to the Transformation song list through keyboard technology found in top recording studios and concert stages of the world.
Larry Neubauer – Holding down the bottom for Transformation, Larry excels at incorporating the perfect combination of cover song bass lines and his own originality that creates the perfect foundation for the Transformation sound. A long time resident of the Chicagoland northern suburbs Larry offers his talent to several church Praise Bands in the area that get the benefit of a true professional player.
Kristen Jean Geer – Offering the perfect edge to the Transformation sound is vocalist Kristen Jean Geer. Nailing the vocal likings of Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and Gretchen Wilson is just one dimension of Kristen’s abilities. Transformation gets the incredible enhancement to a fun packed set of Disco/Funk/R&B from Kristen’s vocals making the Transformation sound truly versatile.
