Ken is one of the original members of Karma Parade. He's been a guitarist since he was 12, picking up his bluesy sound as a small-town inbred youth in Tennessee. Oh, but he's grown up and out now. He's also an accomplished singer, and has performed with college, church and show choirs. His influences include Matthew Sweet, Jimmy Buffett, Eric Clapton, Moody Blues, Styx, Tom Petty, They Might Be Giants, 90's alternative and classical music. Another original member and the one with the most years living in Alabama (pity him), Trey's vocals have been compared to Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury. He's also the only member who has purposefully conceived, producing a beautiful daughter named Zarah. His influences are Styx, Thelonious Monk, Moody Blues, Yes, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and jazz music in general. A native of Colorado, Dave came on with Karma Parade in October of 1998. His proficiency has grown, stemming from the hours of practice to get into the band after the original bassist was abducted by aliens. Dave is living proof that talented fans can make their dreams come true when the opportunity presents itself! His influences include: Neil Young, Crosby Stills and Nash, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, and Phish. Mr. Stanley, a native of Toronto, Ontario, joined in June of 2000 after the last drummer fled in fear. He has been playing drums since high school, where he performed covers of Black Sabbath, Allman Bros. Band, Santana, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, Grateful Dead, and jazz standards. 
 
In college, his Sunday afternoons were spent with djembe hand drum masters from West Africa. "Trading solos on top of the complex rhythms with a master from Guinea was the most fun I'd had playing drums up to that point." Let's hope this band is more fun or we'll hurt him. 
 
His musical influences are many, such as early Sabbath, Cream, the Who, Allman Bros. band, Jethro Tull, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, John Scofeild, Jeff Beck, to newer stuff like Soundgarden, Tool, Chilli Peppers, Morphine, Gov't Mule and "anything that rocks".
