Kevin Wendling - Guitar / Vocals

Kevin's musical career is a classic result of "Monkey see, monkey do." After hearing his older brother Mike sing and play guitar, and seeing his bands, Kevin wanted to do the same. His first paying performances were in high school, playing for local "mixers" -some of the very songs he plays with BSP today! Then, he teamed up with Andy Bunk(former BSP Bassist), playing Metallica, Metallica, Metallica, with a little Megadeth, Anthrax, etc., mixed in, to local audiences in the drummer's basement and alley.

After various incarnations of the garage bands, he teamed up with Andy again in the original Progressive Rock project, PROFILE, which got the chance to open for KANSAS. "Kansas.....Kansas.....I said Kansas..." ( inside joke! ) After that, Kevin joined the 80's rock band DAWN PATROL, to keep playing regularly. That is how he met Len Deptula and former BSP bassist Ronnie Rivera, and former BSP guitarist Adam Schoenwald.

After a few years of "retirement", Kevin got a call from another Dawn Patrol alum, John Gomolka, to see if he could fill in for John's country band, STRAIT SOUTHERN. "What....me? Don't you know anyone else?" After playing the summer of 2003 with Strait Southern, Kevin got the performing "fever" again, and as fate would have it, BSP was soon to be in need of a new guitarist.
