About Gary….
With the talent to match the looks, Gary is the quintessential front man for the party cover band. One moment he’s belting out a Pearl Jam tune that would make Eddie Vedder raise a brow; the next kicking it out via a female lead………..yes, that’s right. The mans got range. Compound that with his amazing stage presence and you just can’t go wrong here folks. Be it interacting with the crowd, picking up rhythm duties on guitar, bitch-slappin’ the tambourine/congas or grinding with the hotties by the stage- Gary’s got it ALL covered. Did I mention he ENJOYS this as well? Bank it, the man is on point and the ladies absolutely love him for it.
He is the face of Fish Out Of Water and a driving force behind their success

BK
LEAD GUITAR, VOCALS
Brian Kelly (affectionately referred to as “BK” by friends and foe alike:), has had an obsession with music since early childhood. At age 7, BK began messing around on the family piano. Like today, he loved entertaining his family and friends but ultimately ended up yearning for a more expressive “rock” instrument. By the time he was 11, he possessed his own guitar and musically, felt at “home”. Self taught through the internet and books, BK has an impeccable ear to perfectly emulate and reproduce each note he is hearing from song to song. Additionally, he has studied music theory which has proven fruitful in several successful auditions for area original and cover bands.
His drive however, proved to be too much for the amateur musician so it was at this moment BK began his journey searching for “like-minded” musicians. ENTER: FISH OUT OF WATER…….
A self proclaimed “party animal”, BK is no slouch on smoking licks, and crazy onstage antics. Moreover, his infectious demeanor is quite the contrary to typical “rock star” guitarist. He is professional, dedicated, amazingly talented and completely committed to seeing Fish Out Of Water all the way through. He puts on a show like no other and has superior chops to boot. A once in a lifetime guitarist, the band is truly blessed to have such a talent on it’s roster. In the words of the famous catch phrase of BK himself, all we can say to having him on board is “HELL YEAH!”

TOBY
DRUMS, VOCALS
Toby is a talented drummer and avid fan of the craft. His expressive and emotional approach to the drum kit is reflected in his playing, which essentially has landed him a multitude of gigs and recordings. He has shared the stage performing with or opening for The Misfits, Bonham, Chris Haskett (Rollins Band), COC, The Spoits, McRad, Jimmy’s Chicken Shack, Marcy’s Playground, Combine, Candiria as well as backlining for locals Matt Santry, Steven Lyons and Lex Dizik.
His original project, Spill, is perhaps the most compelling component of his body of work to date. Recording all instruments, vocals and production duties on Spill’s lone demo, Toby shows why the drummer should never be viewed as just a “rhythm” machine.
With his time in the studio, Toby has lent his limbs to producers looking for loops, beats or just a different feel for an artist’s song. With click in tow, Toby has proven a studio ace for artists seeking afro Cuban polyrhythms to metal heads looking for fury on the floor and everything in between. Stylistically he is a versatile as they come.
Fish Out Of Water welcomes him aboard with open arms…………..and there is no holding this guy back!
