Artist History A sorority girl wanted a band to play behind her as she sang in a fraternity-sponsored competition. So we three extremely experienced and talented musicians put together "Michelle's Last Minute Band" for the occasion. We had so much fun, that after the competition, we dumped Michelle and put Jeff on lead vocals and became the power trio that we were: Jeff on bass and vocals, Chris on guitar (an absolutely no vocals), and Tammy on drums and some background vocals. We thought a better name for the band would be "Joe's Deli". But we were wrong and changed the name to "Rude Jamie Hall". (You figure out what it means.) Chris then had the bright idea to chase a girl to Florida, so we got Eric to play guitar and changed our name once again, this time to "Cushmaker". And believe me, you don't want to hear the "story" behind that one.
