Malinda Cox

Malinda, a classically trained woodwind player and music teacher in real life, is the band's most versatile player. She knows everything from saxophone and recorder to tambourine and kazoo. Now, if she only did windows, she'd be considered irreplaceable.

Joe Grady

Joe, lead guitar and vocals, started The Backyard Band to get out of doing chores on weekend afternoons. (It didn't work). When Joe's not busy telling the rest of the band what to do (they don't), he runs his own small business.

Ed Hardy

Ed, a college professor when not on stage, bounces between the drums and mandolin and is hard to stop. (You'll notice that at the end of some songs).

Kerry Joyce

Kerry is THE upside down harp player (Not him, but the harp is upside down). When he's not working on web content development, he's usually scouring e-Bay for deals on harmonicas all the while trying to get people to call him "Wah Wah" after the somewhat distinctive sound he sometimes makes with his harp. We're not going along with it.  Ms. Walters already has that tag.

Pasqualina Luzzi

Pasqualina, our own version of Paula Abdule, uses only her first name (no, not Madonna) and along with her vocals plays anything  - instrument or not. When she's not leading the audience in music, she is busy being a parent and teacher.

Bob Nemitz

Bob, what about Bob? He plays a screaming guitar so we gave him a bass so no one else would have to suffer that nonsense. Typical Federal worker.
