Justin Fedor - Guitar,Vocals (2000-2002)
Justin is a locally trained rhythm guitarist. Having jammed with guitarists from Bag Of Nickels, Creamy Velour, Medicine Tribe and Weekend Excursion; he has spent most of his time meandering through the local music scene learning from his peers. Fascinated by "jammy" players like Jerry Garcia, Béla Fleck, Greg Allman and locals John Russell, Jon Witteveen and Jeff Foxworth, Justin has been molding his own style of rhythm guitar. More of a background man, Fedor enjoys taking a step back to allow his peers to solo while he holds the song together with his bold and funky rhythms. In the past, Fedor has spent much of his time doing acoustic work. After a short stint with Red Hat Dog, an eclectic groove, Justin took a step back from Greensboro's music scene, but has finally emerged from his living room party shows.
