Bio and Songlist

Bob Young

With a instrumental and vocal style often compared to Eric Clapton, Bob holds down the guitar and many of the lead vocals for the band. Adept at sultry smooth ballads as well as high energy rockin’ solos, Bob says he tries to “put the right note in the right place to connect with the audience”.

Brian Donnelly

Keeping the groove and adding rhythmic excitement to the music as well as singing fine lead and background vocals, Brian is the heart beat of the group behind the drums. With Brian, you’ll not just hear the beat, you’ll feel it!

Duane Waller

Laying it down on the bass guitar, lead and background vocals, Duane keeps the bottom end rolling with his original and driving bass lines. When it’s time for a smooth lead vocal on a ballad, chances are Duane will be the one delivering the goods.

Bob Boedecker

Bob’s the keyboard and backing vocal virtuoso. Whether it’s ripping it up on an organ solo or adding the all important high harmony, Bob Boedecker puts just the right amount of icing on the Hitmens’ rock and roll cake.
