Vincent Mason
Rhythm Guitar & Lead Vocals
  Vince is the founding member of the band that was starting to form in late 2007.  A forty year veteran of musical performance, he first distinguished himself in the contemporary Gospel genre’, having had several of this original compositions published and recorded by numerous musical artists and groups.  Vince has performed with various other rock groups including “Three’s Company” and “NightWind” prior to founding his current band.  Vince is one of the lead singers of PeTey and the CRUISERS and plays a Gibson ES335 to perfection.  You can count on Vince to belt out an Elvis, Eagles or Bob Seeger song with his strong vocals.  You will enjoy both listening to and perhaps dancing to his renditions of Old School and Classic Rock ‘n Roll tunes.
Favorite Lyric Line:"Still like that ole time rock and roll, the kind of music that soothes the soul."

John Johnston
Keyboards
John was the last member to join the band.  Also known as “JJ,” he started taking organ lessons at the age of nine and ended them once he graduated from high school.  Having that knowledge allows him to play two keyboards at the same time, which helps in several songs.  John uses an Alesis 6.2 and a Roland Juno Stage for events.  He uses a Yamaha Motif ES6 at home for recording.  John is the one that adds “waves,” strings, horns, marimba and sax to our songs besides the normal B3 Organ or standard piano sounds.  John also works the special lighting for our shows.
Favorite Lyric Line: "Nights In White Satin, never reaching the end, letter's I've written, never meaning to send."

Lowell Peters
Drums
Lowell is the very talented drummer for the band.  Lowell’s passion for music as a drummer has spanned over forty years.  Back when he was younger and had more hair on his head, Lowell started playing with rock bands and has played with such notables as the Buckeye Ballroom Band and an Elvis Tribute Band.  Lowell has performed his percussion expertise from Nashville to Memphis and Las Vegas prior to returning to central Ohio.  An often sought after drummer, Lowell even manage to earn the title as Best Drummer in Ohio 
several years ago.  Playing either a full set of DW or OC drums, Lowell just keeps setting the correct beat for each song and shows off his unlimited talent when let loose with his sticks.  He now has returned to his rock n roll roots as a founding member of PeTey and the CRUISERS.
Favorite Lyric Line:  "Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand, put a little love in your heart."
