STRANDED STARTED OUT AS AN ACCOUSTIC TRIO IN 2000. THE STARTING MEMBERS WERE MIKE EMBRY, ED ISBELL, AND YVONNE PAYNE. YVONNE CHOSE TO LEAVE AND WORK WITH ANOTHER BAND. THEN DAVE MANCO CAME INTO THE TRIO AND PLAYED SMALL COFFEE HOUSES AND SMALL VENUES IN 2000. THE BAND DECIDED TO GO INTO ANOTHER DIRECTION. ALL ELECTRIC CLASSIC ROCK BAND A DRUMMER NAMED MIKE SHEEHAN, WAS ADDED TO FINISH OUT THE BAND IN 2002. WE RECORDED OUR SECOND CD. WHEN MIKE SHEEHAN LEFT. WE ADDED TIM MCMONTIGAL TO PLAY DRUMS AND ROLAND STEINER TO PLAY LEAD GUITAR. WE ADDED SOUTHERN ROCK AND BLUES TO OUR SET. THEN EDDIE ISBELL LEFT TO DO SOME ACCOUSTIC WORK. AND MIKE EMBRY NEEDED A BREAK FROM THE LONG HOURS IN THE BARS. WE ADDED A KEYBOARD PLAYER AND NEW LEAD SINGER TO THE GROUP IN LATE 2004. GREG TOWNSEND TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT SHOWMAN. AFTER MUCH THOUGHT MIKE EMBRY DECIDED TO REJOIN STRANDED TO PLAY RHYTHM GUITAR AND ALSO SING LEAD. WITH MIKE AND GREG AND THE BACKGROUND VOCALS WE REALLY DEVELOPED A GREAT HARMONY SOUND. THEN IN 2005 TIM MCMONTIGAL HAD TO CHANGE JOBS AND LEAVE THE BAND. WE PICKED UP ROGER PHILLIPS TO DO THE DRUMMING. THAT WAS SHORT LIVED AND IN THE SUMMER OF 2006 WE ADDED DAVE SENTER ON DRUMS. AFTER A SHORT TIME DAVE HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE OF PERSONAL REASONS. WE ADDED A NEW DRUMMER BY THE NAME OF TRAVIS KINGSTON. WE NEXT DECIDED TO GO IN ANOTHER DIRECTION AND ADD ALOT OF COUNTRY MUSIC. ROLAND AND TRAVIS DECIDED NOT TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION. SO WE ADDED A COUPLE OF NEW PLAYERS. WE REPLACED ROLAND WITH KENT JAGGERS ON LEAD GUITAR. WE ALSO REPLACED TRAVIS WITH TIM HOOPER ON DRUMS. THIS WAS NEEDED TO SWITCH TO THE COUNTRY STYLE. ROLAND AND TRAVIS WILL BE MISSED. THIS IS THE LINE UP OF STRANDED AS OF TODAY. MIKE EMBRY, DAVE MANCO, GREG TOWNSEND, TIM HOOPER, AND KENT JAGGERS.
