He had his own recording studio and created and sang jingles and did recording for various clients.  He continued sharing his talents at a variety of venues -   singing, playing guitar, and even acting at community theater.  George now enjoys branching out into blues, jazz and contemporary christian music at various venues with After the Storm. His love of music keeps him motivated to find new ways of expressing his passion. And... He’s REALLY, REALLY GOOD!!! Susan Bell Susan is our keyboardist, vocalist, marketing manager and band manager.

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....
