In various bands, Gentry has opened for national acts such as Warren Zevon, John Eddie, and Southside Johnny. As a member of Holiday Express, he has also shared the stage with Rob Thomas, Johnny Reznick of the Goo Goo Dolls, and Ryan Star. Roger Taylor is a member of both Tim Mcloone and the Shirleys and Holiday Express and has played alongside Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemons. Multi-instrumentalist and session musician Marc Muller has toured with Shania Twain, Gretchen Wilson, and Van Zant. Former Cats on a Smooth Surface bassist, Johnny Micco, is a NYC musician, singer, and session player and has also played alongside Bruce Springsteen and Bob Bandiera of the BonJovi band. Rene Woolley of Little Silver had his first professional gig at the age of 14 and has played in NYC with Jimmy Vivino, guitarist from The Max Weinberg 7. Greg Berger has performed with Kevin Eubanks, Mary Wells, Jose Feliciano, and many others. George Ott plays in the BethAnne Clayton Band and is lauded for his songwriting in the book, Local Heroes: The Asbury Park Music Scene by Carl "Tinker" West, Bruce Springsteen's former manager. Laurie Sparrow was a member of the 70's and 80's shore-area bands, Homefries and Street Cat. She was also a charter member of That Band from Atlantic Highlands. The Byrds, one of the most significant musical groups of the 60's helped to revolutionize popular music by merging the influences of folk music, the Beatles, and the British Invasion in their arrangements and compositions. Later on, they were pioneers in the genre of country rock along with Bob Dylan, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons, Poco, Pure Prairie League, The Eagles, etc. Gram Parsons, also a member of the Byrds albeit for a short time, was instrumental in shifting the group's direction towards country rock. The mainstay and leader of the group, however, was the legendary Roger McGuinn, who was the only Byrd to remain a member from the group's inception to its demise. McGuinn along with David Crosby, Chris Hillman, Gene Clark, and Parsons went on to successful solo careers or other bands, most notably Crosby as a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
