Wilder Horses

Paul Johnson - Guitar, Vocals

Paul has been playing professionally since 1982. He was a founding member of Waxing Poetics - a band who released three critically acclaimed LPs, toured the US, and featured heavily on MTV. In 1992, Paul moved to NYC and backed many artists as well as playing on numerous recordings, including The Master Plan that released two albums featuring his songwriting, guitar playing and singing. The Master Plan toured North America and Europe playing their brand of garage rock. 

Paul now fronts his own band Electric Johnson.  When asked to join Wilder Horses, he said "I really only know how to play my own songs, Chuck Berry, and The Rolling Stones! It's how I learned to play guitar." At the audition he could not believe the chemistry of the band. 

David Hunter - Drums

David Hunter first began playing the drums in 1973 and has been enamored with the instrument ever since. His earliest and foremost drumming influence was Charlie Watts; indeed, David’s first professional-level drum set purchase was Gretsch, “because that’s what Charlie played.” 

David has been playing drums professionally for 43 years and counting. He’s shared stages with countless national acts over the years, as well as recording 2 LPs with national recording artists Channel One. He feels just as passionate about music now as he was when he was just starting out. “I find it both gratifying and humbling that I’ve now come full circle in my drumming career: from starting out as a young player imitating Charlie Watts to portraying him onstage today with The Wilder Horses Band.”

Pat Myers - Bass Guitar, Vocals

Born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA, Pat Myers was seduced by the power of Rock n’ Roll at an early age, playing in garage bands at the age of 13 and professionally by the age of 16.  From the beginning Pat always knew he wanted to play the bass, having always been fascinated with the looks and sounds of the instrument. He is a true bassist at heart. The Rolling Stones and Bill Wyman were a huge influence on Pat’s early development as a bassist and also in fanning the flames of his passion for rock n’ roll.
Over the decades Pat has played with successful regional bands such as Locals Only, The Boneshakers, Nitro Lounge, Deja and many more. He has been a songwriter and studio session musician on multiple original music studio releases. In addition to that, Pat has had the privilege of playing in many high profile live performances, opening for bands such as Toto, Foghat, The Ramones, The Romantics, and The Producers. 
After 45 years of playing the bass, Pat has welcomed the opportunity to join Wilder Horses and to be a part of this chemistry and this passion for honoring The Rolling Stones!

Bill Beach – Keyboards

Bill was born on the South Side of Chicago and was exposed to music at a very young age; first from his father, a boogie-woogie style piano player, and then from seeing top blues musicians at Chicago’s famous Maxwell Street. Bill formed his first band in 1966, and since then, he has performed alongside such Chicago greats as Lee Jackson, Steve Freund, Harvey Mandell, and as a member of Studebaker John and the Hawks. Bill is a founder of the Chicago indie band Man Fighting Bear, where alongside percussionist Chris Beach (son) and bassist Erik Fagrelius, they have played throughout Chicago and at Milwaukee’s Summerfest. Thanks to Wilder Horses member Chris Ambrosino, Bill was invited to join the band in 2023.  Bill said that musically, it was like “coming home. The rawness of the Rolling Stones music, along with the passion of each Wilder Horses member was a natural fit, and I couldn’t be happier!”
