Mike - Guitar
 Mike
Blemenschutz was born and raised in Akron, OH.
He grew up listening to rock and country and got his first guitar at
age 14. He started playing along
with AC/DC, Van Halen, and Rush, to name a few, playing primarily by
ear. He still remembers doing Van Halen's Eruption solo in his Senior
High School talent show. He
joined the military right after high school and ended up on an aircraft
carrier overseas. He began playing with other service men that shared
the same musical passion and they gigged in bars and clubs around the world. It was a cool experience, but there's
no place like home. Now retired
from the US. Navy, it’s been a dream come true to come to what he now calls
home, here in the south and hook up with such great talented musicians.

Dave - Keyboards
 Dave Guadagno is a mis-born southern boy whose parents kept
freezing in Buffalo N.Y. until he joined the Navy and found himself in
Jacksonville Florida at the age of 18. Since then he has never wanted to
live anywhere else. He started playing music 30 years ago playing acoustic 6
sting guitar. Within a few years he bought an electric guitar because
the acoustic would not allow him to “Rock the House”. About 18 years ago his Brother-in-Law introduced him to the
keyboards and he has not touched the guitar since. For the first 8 years
he bought & sold keyboard equipment and built multiple PA systems until he
was happy with his sound and playing ability. For the past 8 years he
has been in one band or another playing out about 4 to 6 times a month.

Terry - Sound Engineer
 Terry Brower is an anomaly in the band, he has no talent. He can’t sing, he can’t dance, and
he can’t play an instrument, although he will tell you he has done all
three. He is originally from
North Carolina but now calls Jacksonville home after having moved here over 30
years ago. His background lies in a different area. He spent over 8 years as a disc
jockey, at one time on the air with the #1 rated AOR station in Jacksonville,
Rock 95. He also worked as
Production Manager/Road Manager for Bobby Ingram of Molly Hatchett in the “Bobby
Ingram Project” which later became “China Sky” after signing with
CBS/Parc Records. He has
been around entertainment most of his life and now enjoys fine-tuning the
sound for the talented musicians that make up ReZist.
