Biography
Lance Manley is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist. His work is characterized by deeply personal lyrics, distinctive guitar work, and an instantly recognizable singing voice. Although he accompanies himself on several different instruments—including piano and harmonica—his style of hammer-on electric guitar and often idiosyncratic soloing on electric guitar are the linchpins of a sometimes ragged, sometimes polished, yet consistently evocative sound. Although Manley has experimented widely with differing music styles, including swing, jazz, rockabilly, blues, and electronica throughout a varied career, his best known work usually falls into either of two distinct styles; Blues (as heard in songs such as "Rumba", " Red Onion") and Rock with Blues induced Fusion. In more recent years, Manley has started to adopt elements from newer styles of music, such as Jazz and Early Rock, the latter of which was profoundly influenced and created due to his own style of playing. In the history of rock music, psychedelic rock is a bridge from early blues-based rock to latter progressive rock and heavy metal, but it also drew heavily from non-Western sources such as Indian music.

Biography
Champagne Wayne in his first musical manifestation, followed rhythm and blues which was one of the predecessors to rock and roll. He was also strongly influenced by jazz, jump blues and black gospel music. Rhythm and blues, blues, and gospel combined with bebop to create hard bop. "CW" began playing with several well known musicians at an early age, then recorded both jazz and rhythm and blues, such as the swing bands of Jay McShann, Tiny Bradshaw and Johnny Otis. By the early 1960s, rhythm and blues had taken on more gospel-influenced elements, as pioneered by artists such as Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, and James Brown, and was given the name soul music. "Champagne" stuck to the roots of his Blues heritage and continues today producing sounds that are reminiscent of the early 50's and 60's greats. Champagne joined the uprise of young white bands whose music was labeled rhythm and blues (and sometimes blue-eyed soul) — such as The Yardbirds, The Manley's, The Rolling Stones, The Pretty Things, The Small Faces, The Animals, The Spencer Davis Group, Ronnie Earle and The Who. Champagnes contribution to the latest LP, "Rock Out With Your Socks Out" is a demonstration of his driving talent.

Biography
A gigging musician since 1968, Scott was influenced by some of the all-time greats. Felix Cavalieri, Al Kooper, Steve Winwood, Billy Preston, Greg Allman and Chuck Lavelle all played a role in helping Scott define his sound. Long a fan of the Leslie (all hail the genius of Don Leslie), it's no wonder that while he can honky tonk with the best of them, Scott's mojo really begins to shine when he lays hands upon his 1956 Hammond B3 and "61 Leslie or of course for the new age, the Hammond XK-3. Scotts input, song writing talents and intuitive creativity shine on each song that Lance Manley performs. Scott's writing and creativity on the Tittle song "Red Onion" on LMB's latest venture is extraordinary to say the least. But still the story goes..........."Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player..."
