John Coulter
What can I say about John
but MAN.....the guy has
talent! John came to us after
a challenging military career.
Being a disabled veteran now
gives him the time to devote
to his true calling of music
and leading worship. John
plays rhythm guitar and adds
a spark and fullness to our
sound. His vocals are
amazing and he reaches
those high notes that make
you marvel and say WOW...
John currently leads worship
at his own congregation in
addition to playing with After
the Storm. He’s the youngest
of the group and brings a
fresh approach to some of the
oldies - he wasn’t born yet
when most of us were playing
in the 60’s and 70’s. John is a
wonderful asset to After the
Storm. He has an amazing
heart for people and loves the
family friendly atmosphere
Ric Coleman
RIc Coleman is what you’d
call “Drummer
Extraordinare”! You name the
style and he plays it - AND
with GUSTO. Ric has been
playing drums forever and
played professionally with
bands around Florida. He
currently plays with a
Contemporary Christian
group for worship service
and of course is a real
driving force for After The
Storm.
LIke all of us, Ric got burned
out with the bar scene and
really enjoys using his talents
in our family friendly gigs. He
has a great touch and is
wonderful to lead us into
some amazing arrangements
we have come up with.
Ric has that amazing smile
that lights up a room. His joy
and his talent make you want
to join in with the same
enthusiasm he carries into
each and every song. Just
holler WIPEOUT and watch
him laugh....
