Members of

The Band

Nexus was formed in 1982 in Morgantown, WV. We are obviously inspired
by the music of the Grateful Dead. Even more than that, though, we're a
jamming band. We "go for it" at every gig, on virtually every song. We never
play a song the same way twice - that would be boring! We constantly push
ourselves and each other to explore and expand the limits of the music. We've
managed to stay together and persevere despite (or maybe because of!) the
fact that no two band members live within an hour of each other.

	Bruce Kimmel, 49, of Weston, WV, on bass guitar. Bruce has been with Nexus since 1985, when a friend overheard the band talking about their need for a permanent bass player.
Craig Seth, 43, of Harrisville, WV, on rhythm guitar. Craig was recruited by Bruce in 1986 after having played in another band with him in the early 80's.
	Kevin "Woody" Woodcock, 39, of Elkins, WV, on drums.  Woody was an original member of Nexus, who left in 1985 to pursue a career as a printmaker. He returned in 1991 and is currently responsible for the band's highly distinctive and eye-catching posters.
Sean Rogers, 30, of Ann Arbor, MI, on lead guitar. Sean met Bruce through a mutual friend and has been making the 400- mile "commute" to West Virginia since 1994.
	John McConnell, 34, of Morgantown, WV, on drums. John has been with the band since late 1998. In addition to his energy for the music, John is responsible for a flurry of recent bookings. The spring of '99 has been the band's busiest in over ten years.

Currently, most of our gigs are in Morgantown (123 Pleasant Street,
Corner Pocket Saloon, Terrapin Station), Elkins (Jabberwock), and at private
parties in West Virginia and Michigan. We are available to play in central
and eastern Ohio, western PA, and the northern half of West Virginia.
