Growing up in the Bay Area in the mid-90s, Tony quickly realized he loved live music and the classic venues in SF, seeing Tom Petty at the Fillmore, Santana at the Warfield, and countless others.   His enjoyment of live music, jam bands, and his friend’s 4x12 guitar cabinet, encouraged him to move away from reading music, and towards playing by ear and finding the groove.  

In addition to KEEPING KIND, Tony exercises his love for harder rock as a guitar player in the Rugged Soul Project (check it out in the link below!)   He also played in a Sacramento 90s Alt Rock & Country cover band, Sonic Collective.   

Mike has played in bands all over Northern California, starting with drums and then expanding into his primary work on vocals, both lead and creating rich harmonies with other singers.

Mike was a founding member of Mutual of Alameda's Wild Kingdom, a hard rock band out of Alameda, singing lead vocals.  The band included David Kafinetti "Viv Savage" from Spinal Tap on keyboards.

Bill grew up in Baltimore, MD, in a home where a lot of Top 40 & rock was being listened to.  As a result, he developed an enjoyment of many styles of music starting in the 60s: British Invasion, rock, soul, R&B, and jazz.  His music-playing journey started with guitar in the mid-70s and has continued into bass.

He was a founding member of Throbbing Wolfpak, which had many memorable gigs, including one at the (in)famous CBGB’s in NY.  When not creating music in Keeping Kind, you can find Bill making music with the Rugged Soul Project and with DD James.

Dan's band life started as a lead singer with Warrior, a group of long-haired high schoolers who idolized Iron Maiden. After winding interests from metal, to rock, to blues, he busked his way through Europe and the former Yugoslavia. In San Francisco, he helped found the alt-jug group, The Goat Family. His love of music can be heard on his weekly radio show, Lo Watt Free Play.
