Band Bio


Kerri Teyler – Lead Vocals

Introducing the sensational vocal powerhouse of the Lizards of Lounge, Kerri! Since she first uttered words, music has been her preferred language, serenading audiences since the tender age of 5. Kerri honed her performance skills early on, dazzling in countless stage productions, mostly musicals.

With a voice that can melt hearts and move mountains, Kerri has fronted several cover bands, doubling up as an MC and DJ, enchanting crowds at over 600 weddings since the turn of the millennium. When not captivating with soulful melodies, she’s either training and playing with her faithful companion, Bailey the border-husky pup, or embracing her most cherished role yet: being a rockstar mom to her 14-year-old daughter.

The microphone has always been an extension of her very essence, and she’s eager to infuse every stage with her infectious energy and undeniable talent alongside the Lizards of Lounge. Brace yourselves to groove, sway, and surrender to Kerri’s mesmerizing charm as she spearheads a musical adventure like no other!


Geoff Alman – Bass & Vocals

Geoff started playing in garage, funk, punk and rockabilly bands in 1981. Touring and recording from Boston to San Francisco and all of continental Europe in the 80’s & 90’s didn’t bring fame and fortune, but it did make for some great stories to tell around the campfire. After settling in Concord in 2008 he met mentor and DVC music instructor Steve Sage who plugged him into the East Bay music scene.

Thomas Churchill – Drums

Thomas’ musical journey started in Gary, Indiana with a desire to learn to play the drums in junior high school, unfortunately this opportunity did not happen for Thomas. His desire to play the drums became his first ‘bucket list’ item that went untouched for many years. Thomas, in 1991, checked this item off his list when he began studying drums with local Bay Area drummer/educator John Xeapoleas.

In those early years Thomas learned many drum concepts from John X and thrived from the many music schools and ‘blues jams’ available in the Bay Area. Thomas’ love for the drums continues, he has played in several Bay Area bands such as ‘Blue Conspiracy’, ‘The Shorty Garcia Band’ and ‘Midnight Sugar’.
Thomas’ newest drumming project is with the band the ‘Lizards of Lounge’. Thomas plays: Drum Workshop drums and pedals; Zildjian cymbals; Vic Firth sticks; and Aquarian drum heads.

     

Dave Roberts – Keys

Dave has performed in various Bay Area jazz and pop/rock groups, including the Roy Henderson Quartet, the Delta Jazz Trio, Point of Fusion, the August Reed Band, the Black Diamond Rhythm Band, Nob Hill Jazz and Ain’t Misbehavin’. His main instrument is piano/keyboards and he also plays bass.

 

Dan Holligan – Sax & Vocals

Dan “the sax man” Holligan. Born with a sax, raised on vinyl. Ten years old, smoky basements, Coltrane on repeat. By fifteen, bars thrummed with his silky tenor, weaving tales under amber lights. Rough edges polished, dreams soared with each soaring note. Now, weathered with grace, “the sax man” paints velvet nights with jazz-kissed stories. But in the quiet, that worn sax whispers: the boy chasing fireflies, forever chasing the next perfect song.
