Bio

Brisk
Mark Euker: Frontman, guitar, vibraslap, vocals and cajon. As a husband, father of four kids and two fur babies, he is always busy. His wife Danielle is the band manager and runs sound, making this a family project!! Mark has opened for Cracker, Fuel, POD, The Clarks, and The Flys. Mark has a great collection of band tees and jokes (some are even funny!).
Robyn Bauer: Violin, vocals. Mother of three and wife to Derrick. A teacher of children's music and concertmaster of the Fredericksburg Symphony, Robyn is a true 90's music lover whose classical roots allow her to fly on the fingerboard. She has performed all over the East Coast and Europe, and has shared the stage with world-class violinists Itzhak Perlman and Joshua Bell, and vocalists Tony Bennett, Kristen Chenoweth, Judy Collins, Paul Anka, and Jose Carreras, among others!
JR Franks: Drums. @frunkydrummer - Born and raised in the D.C. area, J.R. has been an active member of the D.C. music scene for several years and has shared the stage with numerous bands and artists, both local and from around the country. He has also worked at SoundExchange since 2018, where he helps ensure artists are paid for their creative works.
Cecilia Garvey: Fiddle and vocals. Cecilia is one of the music gems that is rarely found when someone at a party bar announces "Hey, my friend plays... can they give it a shot?!" Cecilia brings a huge talent to the stage with great fiddle riffs and powerful vocals. She can be found blowing crowds away at bluegrass festivals, hugging puppies and attending and planning the best Galas in NOVA.
Brett Minard: Guitar and a bunch of effects to make it sound like anything BUT a guitar (and look he’s singing now too!). Brett has played in punk and hardcore bands in the DC area since the late 00’s and is finally getting in touch with his childhood by incessantly begging to play more Radiohead tunes and maybe one day a Wilco jam (dude REALLY loves Wilco). He may or may not attempt to take over the world one day... Dr. Doofenshmirtz all the way.
Ryan Persinger: Bass. Ryan is a HUGE cat lover, adores spinach and various other veggies, rooting for the underdog in sports and has the best taste in music ever!! While he is a bass player, Ry can also be found playing guitar and we are TRYING to get him on the mic!!
Mike Pingley: Drums. What can we say about Mike? Nothing actually, it's all top secret. He may be the greatest drummer in the DC Metro by night but during the day, he has a top secret job that just can't be discussed. Signs point to Agent M being the top confidante (or dare we say muse?) to Sir William Joel. When we are fortunate enough to tear him away from Billy, Agent M keeps the songs moving and the rest of us laughing and having a great time.
