Sometimes a fresh sound comes from unexpected places. The members of this band come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but share in common a wealth of musical experience going back decades.
Founder Ralph Tourkow had enjoyed a lengthy run with a well-respected area group, The Answer Band. But sometimes the story of a band has a beginning, middle and end, and when it came time for Answer Band members to move on to the next chapter of their lives, Ralph found himself without a band…
Fortunately he had recently gotten to know keyboardist and guitarist Tom Gust, who happened to also be in the market for something fresh and new.
They felt they needed a guitarist and vocalist who could “handle the high parts”, and got in touch with Dave “Junior” Weese, who also just happened to be looking for an exciting change.
Add brother / sister ( drummer / vocalist ) team Chris Kittredge and Amanda Kittredge-Prieur (another Answer Band veteran) to the mix, and what emerged was a solid sound, great attitude, and all around good time.
You could say this band was formed from the remnants of several other projects that had simply run their course. Hence the name: THE REMNANTS
