DANIEL B. FORD - DANNY "CADILLAC" LASTINGER - BRUCE BROOKSHIRE - JOHN SAMUELSON - EDDIE STONE
BASS GUITAR DRUMS GUITAR GUITAR KEYBOARDS
Bruce Brookshire-(Guitar and Vocals) was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado and grew up on Spangdahlem Air Force Base in Germany. At age 10, his first band called "The Shears" made their debut on local Air Force television. By 1969 the family had settled in Georgia, where Bruce and his brother Bob formed Roundhouse in 1971. Bob left in the mid-seventies to persue his love of R&B, leading the bands of Clarence Carter, Johnny Taylor, Solomon Burke, Z.Z. Hill and Candi Staton, occasionally hiring his brother to play backup guitar. Eventually Bob quit the music business to go back to school. He is currently a professor at the University of South Carolina. Bruce continued with Roundhouse and by 1980 the band was signed to A&M Records, re-named Doc Holliday. He is currently full-time Pastor of Grace Fellowship Church in Warner Robins, Georgia and continues to work as a musician. He is married to Lisa and their daughter Rachel is married, with her first child on the way! He enjoys cooking, movies, reading, writing and Atlanta Braves baseball.
Daniel Bud Ford-(Bass Guitar and Vocals) was born in Savannah and has lived in Georgia most of his life. Close schoolfriends Bud and Bruce played in their first "garage band" together (in the Brookshire's garage) when Bud was 16 and Bruce was 15. He was in the original version of Roundhouse in 1971. Bud left to pursue his career in the midst of the Atlanta music explosion of the 70's. This incredible scene included The Allmans, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mose Jones, Hydra, Phaedra (w/Rex Smith), Brewer & Shipley, the original Little Feat, Hampton Grease Band and many others. Bud played primarily with Cisco, a group whose members included Grover Jackson, the founder of Jackson Guiutars, and Barry Borden (B.B. Queen) the drummer for Mother's Finest, Molly Hatchet and Marshall Tucker Band. Disillusioned with the cut-throat nature of the music business, he moved to California in the later 70's working in a variety of odd jobs from sous-chef to vegetable picker. In 1987 Bud joined Doc Holliday and has played on every album since "Song For The Outlaw-Live".
Eddie Stone-(Keyboards and Vocals) is a Georgia native who comes from a musical family. His father "Buddy" Stone played steel guitar with Country music legends Git Tanner and the Skillet Lickers. Eddie grew up playing in bands around central Georgia. He also worked as assistant sound engineer at Starday-King Studios in Macon at the time James Brown recorded "Hot Pants". After a tour of duty with the U.S. Army in Germany, Eddie returned to Georgia and joined Roundhouse. He was with Doc Holliday for the band's first four albums and tours, then left to pursue a solo career. He came back for the 1989 European Tour and left again a short time later to continue as a solo artist, releasing a well-received country music album in 1999. His Southern Rock project "Eddie Stone & Friends" was released in 2004. Eddie has performed with a number of Southern bands including Grinderswitch, Stillwater, and The Winters Brothers. Lately he's been touring with Jimmy Hall and Wet Willie. He is married to Lisa and their daughter Keri is an Art and Film Production student at Savannah College of Art & Design.
John Turner Samuelson-(Guitar and Vocals) is a native of Atlanta, Georgia. He was part of that city's music explosion of the 70's, playing, jamming and hanging out with most of the local bands like Hydra, Mose Jones, Warm, and many others. In 1974, he answered a call Bruce made to an Atlanta recording studio, looking for a bass player. He ended up moving a hundred miles south and joining Roundhouse. He has been with the band through most of the changes-he didn't appear on "Song For The Outlaw-Live" as Bud had joined the band on bass, with John's full approval. John instantly switched to lead guitar. He has always been a multi-instrumentalist. He played trombone in school, played bass for a time with Atlanta's legendary Classics IV, toured the Southeast with an acoustic duo in the 70's, and has written hundreds of songs. "Never Another Night" and "Angels In Waiting" are two outstanding examples of his lyric writing for Doc Holliday. Fans will note that John has appeared on every Doc Holliday album except one. He lives in Atlanta and is a proud grandparent who enjoys blogging and recording in his home studio.
Danny "Cadillac" Lastinger-(Drums) was born and raised in Unadilla, Georgia. As a child he was always tapping on a table or a cereal box and got his first set of drums at age 12. He played and traveled with cover bands for many years, somehow ending up jobless and stuck in Texas. He eventually worked his way home, but decided he'd had enough of the music business. Even though he was a Doc Holliday fan from the beginning (buying and learning the songs from the first two LPs), he was hesitant to accept the invitation to audition in 1988. After some persuasion from Billy Yates, the newly-named "Cadillac" aced the audition, impressing the band with his knowledge of the material and proving that "If you keep on trying, good things are bound to happen." He has toured the world and appeared on seven Doc Holliday albums during the last 20+ years. He is proud father to his son Daniel, who has a Master's Degree in Music Therapy. Danny is a minister at Grace Fellowship Church in Warner Robins, Georgia, he's an avid jazz music fan, and he does session work as a drummer in his spare time.
