Terry Mingle
Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards, Flute, Percussion
Terry began singing as soon as she could
talk. Lessons on flute and piccolo began in 2nd Grade. Rock music
was introduced shortly thereafter when she discovered her neighbor
(Billy Strong) had a garage band called the Misty Blues (now
he plays in The Cafferty Band). Two local 80's bands, Tokyo and
THE RODS, further solidified the interest and drive to get into
a rock band, so she began lessons on piano and guitar. Private
voice lessons were added soon afterward.
Terry attended Mansfield University where she was a flute/voice major and obtained
a degree in Music Merchandising (music/business/marketing). While at MU, she
learned to sing opera and participated in several classical and jazz groups,
but over the years she has also played in various local and no-so-local rock
bands such as: The Heartbeats (w/Betsy Palmer, a/k/a Betsy Raunchette), Eruption,
Onnex/Exit, JR Mangan Band, Secret Service, Leaky Sneakers, 5%, X-CALIBUR (a
band which played a show at RFK stadium), Movin' Violations,
Dreamer, Descyple, Teaser, Revolving Door, Excalibur, and Nasty Habit.
Notably,
(while in Revolving Door) Terry played in a festival which included the national
act Nazareth. While in Nasty Habit, Terry played for NASCAR races at Watkins
Glen International Raceway in 2004 and 2005, opened for the national acts Jefferson
Starship, David "Rock" Feinstein, and THE RODS, and also played in
a festival which included the national act Iron Butterfly. As a member of Blue
Monday, she has opened for THE RODS and Skid Row.
TERRY'S GEAR: Brian Moore iGuitars (Terry
is an official iGuitar
Artist), Korg Triton keyboard and keyboard volume pedal,
Ovation Legend acoustic/electric guitar (but only because
iGuitar does not make an acoustic/electric guitar…YET), Line 6 Flextone II XL amp & extended floorboard,
Roland keyboard amp, DOD SR 866 Two Channel compressor/limiter/gate, Gemeinhardt
flute, Digitech Vocalist Live 4 vocal processor. |

Kenny Romer, Jr.
Vocals, Lead Guitar
Kenny started playing guitar when he was about
8 years old. He wasn't sure that's what he wanted to do at the
time, and so he hung it up until he was in his double digits.
After trading an old bicycle for a guitar in high school (a darn
good trade, we might add) he finally acquired a guitar that actually
worked well enough to learn songs on. He joined the John Styles
Band around 1983...which at the time actually contained TWO guys
name John. Unfortunately both of the guys named John eventually
left the group....leaving the remaining members to re-name themselves
the Styles Band. Kenny played in that band for many years, before
being recruited to play in Revolving Door in 1998. Revolving
Door was a very short-lived stint for him though, as it folded
into Nasty Habit shortly thereafer, in August 1999.
Kenny’s musical resume states that he has been
a member of the following local bands: John Styles Band/Styles
Band, Revolving Door, and Nasty Habit.
Notably, while
in Nasty Habit, Kenny played for NASCAR races at Watkins Glen
International Raceway in 2004 and 2005, opened for the national
acts Jefferson Starship, David "Rock" Feinstein, and
THE RODS, and also played in a festival which included the national
act Iron Butterfly. As a member of Blue
Monday, he has opened for THE RODS and Skid Row.
KENNY'S GEAR: Peavey Wolfgang Special
guitars, 80's Washburn Mercury Series guitar, and an Alvarez G60 Acoustic guitar.
Kenny also uses a Line 6 Pod and a Peavey 5150 Amp (that was tweaked by Voodoo
Amplification in Lansing, NY). |
BLUE MONDAY COLLECTIVE
GEAR: Sennheiser microphones; Mackie mixer; Peavey SP-2 speakers and monitors; Ultimate keyboard, PA, and lighting stands.

Elliott Mitro
Chief Roadie
He could probably lift a Cadillac
if we asked him to, and he never seems to complain
when we're all bellowing "ELLLLIIIIIOOOOOOTT!!!!!" at
once. In addition to being a pretty darned good softball
player, and a die-hard Kasey Kahne fan, he's also our
most faithful roadie...which is why we made him our
CHIEF roadie...wait a sec, he's our ONLY roadie!! But,
no matter, even if we had a team of 500 roadies, our
boy Elliott would be at the top of the list, because
he's always there when we need him to move something
(or need him to get us a beer). |

David Dennis
Soundman (on occasion...!)
Just call him a knowledge sponge.
In addition to being an owner of RIDGE ROAD REPAIR
shop in Lansing, NY, David cut his mixing teeth with
NASTY HABIT band (that was Tom, Brian, and Terry's
LAST group - with a VERY different set list). NH "discovered" David's
talent for running sound while he was sitting
around in between driving the NH band bus to and
from gigs. He has since graduated to mixing many
of the area's top acts. All we know is that in addition
to his talents as a top Subaru mechanic, this
boy definitely has an ear for music! |
