Meet The Band
Chris Ellis
Banging out notes on the piano at age five (5), is how Chris made his musical debut. He later switched to guitar at age ten (10) and has never looked back. His blues based Rock' n Roll style has that warm feeling that can start your blood flowing rapidly. A love for the stage is evident by his compilation of live performances with numerous national acclaimed acts. His first CD with his band "CHOOZY MOTHERS" features Chris on lead guitar, rhythm guitar and vocals. All thirteen (13) songs on the CD were written by Chris. His aggressive playing technique and song writing ability will be sure to please the ears of all listeners.
Kent Burnham
Kent has joined the ranks as the newest “Mother”. Over the years he has played with numerous bands in the Kansas City area. Formerly a recording artist with Atlantic Records band “Banshee”, Kent also appeared in their MTV Video. He performed as the lead drummer in the 12 piece percussion show “Sticks of Thunder” at Union Station, which had great reviews and ran weekly for over a continuous year. Kent is a true professional with the skills and talent to play with any band.
Al Grindy
Al was driven to perform the first time he felt the power delivered by the bass guitar. Over the years he has played with various bands in the Minneapolis area. His solid groove creates a powerful tone for the trio to build upon. Al's big live sound and creative arrangement ideas make him a welcomed addition to "Choozy Mothers".
Past Members
Mark Cummings
Mark began his percussion career as a drummer of the streets. He touched all forms of music from Jazz to Classical, but always found a way back to his musical roots; Rock'n Roll and Rhythm & Blues. His hard driving, crafty, syncopated beats punched through bands he collaborated with from Chicago to Minneapolis to L.A. On the road and at home he shared experience and talent with other drummers in the studio as musician and teacher.
Mark was Choozy Mother's Original Drummer.
Brian Busick
*Deceased* A serious musician who thrives on live performance, Brian has played in clubs throughout the Midwest region. He originally played guitar but later found his true passion was the bass. His solid, foot stompin' groove creates a powerful tone for the trio to build upon. Dedication and a positive attitude are two attributes with which he strengthens the band. His energy and forceful sound makes him a welcomed addition to "CHOOZY MOTHERS".
