An eccentric group of characters who help make the band’s dream a reality. They are people with strong visions, and – like the band – are outcasts themselves.
The Band Family - 1971
BOB EZRIN (22)
The genius producer who has put his creative touch on all their greatest hits. Along with Shep, his drive and determination give the band a revitalized sound that takes them in a new direction.
CHARLIE CARNAL (25)
A loyal friend who has been through thick and thin with the band since the early Phoenix days. Charlie’s great gift is that he is a brilliant electrical engineer and designer of props, lighting rigs and stage gear. Everything that functioned onstage that made the band’s act one of the most unique stage shows ever, was because of Charlie. He lived in the secret wall compartments on the second floor of the estate, and his lab of inventions was in the cavernous basement.
CINDY DUNAWAY (22)
Cindy is the mother hen of the band. Drummer Neal Smith’s younger sister and Dennis’ future wife, she always watches out for the band as they take on the world of rock and roll. Working out of her own Atelier on the third floor of the estate, Cindy designs and sewed the costumes for the band. She is a silent pioneer for her work in the early days of theatrical rock.
REBECCA (18)
A smart and sassy student who is also Shep’s right hand woman. She is a big attraction for the band in terms of looks, but wants nothing to do with dating any of them. Her combination of brains and beauty saves Shep on numerous occasions.
AMAZING RANDI
James Randi, AKA "The Amazing Randi", is an illusionist, and an influence on the whole band. He comes along later to design the guillotine and act as an executioner on tours.
“AMP BOY” MIKE
A former classmate of the band from Phoenix, Mike was the only one with a van when they first started. He has been loyal and supportive from the very beginning, and is along for the crazy ride. His cool demeanor always seems to bring the arguments between the band down to zero.
ADAM - Unofficial Security Guard (20)
A fan of the band since the early days, Adam lives in a sleeping bag by the estate’s entry gates for most the time. He is a frequent visitor to the house but at night sleeps outside. His trusty walkie talkie keeps him in contact with Charlie or Mike from his cave near the entrance.
